    I'd read that forward of the axle and 11* is ideal for ride comfort. I've been curious if changing the compression angle did it or if the shocks did it. Or both. Either way I'll never go back.

    I have no idea but it’s magical no doubt. You really need the HD hangers I’m sure that helped it out some also.

    BAMF right? You installed them when you did the shock relocate right? Can it be done without taking the bed off? Not sure if the wife would be able to help me get the bed off the truck.

    Yes to the first 2. It would be possible with the bed on but it’d be a MAJOR PIA, Chris had to work at it for a bit to get the rivets out.

    I've heard the rivets a complete and total put-a-bullet-in-me bitch...

    Damn you Toyota for making a fine quality product (that ended when the second gen was discontinued)!

    It looked like it was if you could get ahold of a plasma cutter that’d speed it up a lot.

    He also used a air chisel or hammer to rip the heads off.

    The guys in the install thread said it was easier to grind the heads off then knock pins out

    That's what I'd read as well. Basically cut and grind as much as you can from both sides then smash them out with a big ass hammer or an air hammer.
