    Oh, also. Found out VHT epoxy is almost an exact match to the coils if they get chipped a little during assembly. It’s pretty tough shit too.

    Nice. I’ll probably put extended brake lines on later on, I just had this little aluminum spacer block left over from an old kit, figured why not.

    I have no idea if I’ll actually need this, but I noticed my ‘17 Pro had a spacer for the e-brake cable bracket on the leaf pack so I ordered one. I think the Foxes were larger diameter than the 5160’s though so maybe I won’t need it.

    Yeah I did 6/5 and Icon aal no overload. I haven’t had a chance to get any measurements yet. I drove straight to Toyota to get an alignment.

    Edit: here is a better pic. It’s about 1/2” higher in the rear. Came out to about 2 1/8” in the front and 1.5” in the rear.

    How long did it take your shocks to settle that much? Any further settling since then?

    The one who dies with the most stuff wins.
    Got home from our trip to Yellowstone on Saturday. Yesterday I did an oil change and changed front brake pads. Today I installed my extended rear brake lines, and bled the brakes all the way around in anticipation of tomorrow's work. Tomorrow the plan is to do the Dakars and 5160s in the rear. Thursday is the ECGS bushing. Hopefully by Friday a friend of a friend comes through to use his spring compressor so I can swap out the 700# springs I initially ordered for the 650# Bilstein springs at the suggestion and advice of @crashngiggles.
