    Agreed, I have had a few Jeeps, ran the same trails with the Tacoma. These same trails destroyed one of the Jeeps. I will keep my truck and glad I no longer have the Jeep.

    ...any chance you got a few extra upper shock mounts in that inventory? or are those all spoken for?

    EDIT: OOF. I see someone already asked...

    Somewhere between an internal cage with LT and an LS swap with a blower is the point where you should have started with a tube chassis.

    Question: Has anybody on here actually installed ADS coilovers with the 2.25" kit? Any thoughts on that? Those King wait times are killing me...

    I have, does that count?

    they work fine you just can’t push the front end further forward than 7/8” because the ADS bottom hats will hit the tie rods. You either have to get custom hats made or run the slide rack and then you will have tons of tie rod clearance

    What are your thoughts about Fox 8”x 2.5” universal coilovers and your LT kit?

    You will have to modify the hose for sure, as for the rest maybe @desertjunkie760 knows... ?

    Thank you for your input. What modifications are you taking about? To make the hose shorter/longer or to change the angle of the hose fittings?

    Check My Sig.
    The Fox 2.5x8" C/O does need some changes to fit into the JD kit. These will not fit in the standard configuration.

    -1" shorter eyelet
    -Raised spring retainer
    -90* Fitting out of the shock body
    -Different hose routing. The standard layout uses a -10 hose that is 18" long with what I believe is a 7/8" hose port on the body cap. The fitting is pretty large for the shock to fit into the coil bucket as JD intended. You may have to go down in hose size to a -8 and a body cap with a smaller port to allow the usage of a smaller hose fitting that will clear the bucket and shorten the hose a couple of inches to allow the resi to fit in the appropriate spot.

    This is just off the top of my head so I may have forgotten a thing or two but those are the main changes.
