**CLOSED**Elka Suspension - Group Buy**

The long answer:
The need for longer brake lines is dependent on the extended length of the shocks. The extended length in this case was considered and though lengthened to ensure maximum travel while retaining the factory components, they weren't lengthened to a point where longer lines would be needed.

The short answer:
Nope, you will not need longer brake lines

 

Guess it’s time to start the wheel and tire journey.

 

Looking good there, even before tires! How much lift did you net front/rear?

 

I asked the guy to get me level and shoot for 2.5” of lift. Went from around 37” to the fender to 39.5”.

 

Apparently there is one custom kit that needs to be shipped. Once that one is shipped, the drawing will be held.

Just because the Group Buy is over don't hesitate to contact Marie @Headstrong for great pricing on Elka Products!

 

Thank you so much Ramon for your help!

 

thanks to both of you for a lot of awesomeness. I can’t wait to replace my suspension.... again lol.

 

LOL you Sir are more than welcome!

 

I know this thread is closed, but I searched the entire thread and didn't see a mention of what sort of valving it was, Digressive or Progressive?

 

PM sent

 

A 6/pack, Bag of beef jerky and 2 band-aids later!
So much better. I need to go drive!
Front is way more planted/solid feeling, but not at all harsh.
Less nose-dive and less throttle lifting.
Less side to side wallowing feel.
Happy camper, i am.

Seems like on the T4Runner the rear resi clickers are going to get blasted with gravel/cinder.
One little extra 'ear' on the back resi mounts and 2 bolts into the frame would hold the mounting bracket. I used 4 bolts and 2 large washer instead of the XL band clamp and custom taco bolts supplied.

Noticed after install that the front resi hoses are not the same and the driver side rubs the shock mount.
Will have to do some fine tuning.

 

Nice write up, feedback and photos!

The front elbow issue is very common. We have had to adjust almost every one we have run. I do see what you are saying as the resi in the rear. I have the same exact configuration though I have more plastic paneling surrounding it. I am not sure if you removed some to fit the HC. I know that the some mfg's have gone with this design as the other configuration was more problematic. When the tires were tucked up they could run into the resi.

 

Awesome! Y’all are making me anxious to get mine going!

 

Its best to droop out the suspension and make sure the lines aren't taut.

 

I was reading up on the compression adjustments for these and trying to figure out what the best method for dialing in changes. Is it best to record your changes from where you are now? I haven't changed anything at all and assume at install it's setup in a pretty common fashion that is best for most. I know a lot of folks say "set it and forget it" but i'd love to find some adjustments and keep track of them, but wasn't sure how many adjustments there were or if the dials stop me from turning them at some point so there's a definitive min and max? I'm cruising Elka's site now for info but figured I'd check with this group.

 

This from the manual:

 

Welp, guess I screwed that up. I don’t have the tags. I saw them. But I didn’t keep them. Dang. Sucks.

 

Thanks Marie!

 

Installed yesterday! Just a quick drive to town, but already feel better than my previous set-up. Can't wait to get them on dirt!
