I don't, but I am sure going to put them to extreme to find if elka worth the name.

Damn that's spendy, I haven't played in that space yet. Just did RAV4 at 250 per side. Nearly 6 hundy more per is a sticker shock for this cat. What's OEM area?

 

$100 for struts per side, but you have to reuse the coils.

Sure cheaper, but till you install high end and ride them you won't know how shitty stock suspension is.

 

Each slider is roughly 90lbs

 

Do they make an extend length option

 

that's extended length ffs, can you click the link below...

 

My ignorance in this arena has kept my wallet healthy

 

Are you sure? You have the RCI sliders too right? I haven't weighed them but they don't feel like 90lbs each.

Either way, 300-350lbs extra is significant.

 

Idk what you’re talking about, my taco rides like a Cadillac compared to my old 2500. That minivan engine must be good enough you want the suspension too

 

Oh you see, you never actually been on the trails with a nice suspension and extra wheel travel. I am on my 4th set and know one or two things about it

 

It's around 60 lbs per side actually, I have them.

 

Read up on the preload adjustment quirks if you haven't already. Aluminum threads and split-collar spring perch conspire to make it difficult:

They are already adjusted per my request for 3" lift, all I need is to bolt them on. But thanks for the heads up

 

4 sets? Probably could have gone LT by now

 

4600
5100
Fox 2.0
Elka is next

Probably could, but saving LT for the 40s.

 

So they gave the driver's side coilover ~1/4" more preload than the passenger side one, to take up Taco Lean?

 

Yeah, one of them has more pre-load than the other. They come with 2.5" preload from factory if you don't specify what you need. I have access to strut spring compressor (the one that is floor mounted in the shop) and can re-adjust worst case.

 

Fuck you

 

No different than what Fox uses

 

I've got fill plates too which shouldn't be that much more.
But the box said 89lbs so I dunno.

I agree sounds high, and I haven't weighed them but I do recall it saying that on the box.

Now that I think of it though 65-75lbs is more like they feel. Don't get why it would be off.

But then again front skid if I recall is somewhere around 75-80lbs and the sliders are pretty close in weight I'd say
