    You just crank on them or do you have a coil compressing tool? Determining if I can tackle this with the tool and a vice (with soft jaws!) to offset the 1" sag that's going on now with the driver front side (center hub to bottom of wheel well).

    More curious as to how to remedy the 1.5" rear taco lean, as well as what might have caused the rear to be so off and how to go about level the rear. Last measurement was July and I was pretty much 1/4" normal lean


    :thumbsup:!

    The Lair...where questions/issues (that aren't they OPs) get addressed...especially by folks that tend to break $hit, even when following instructions!

    Yeah I just cranked on them. Lube up the threads beforehand with some wd40. Granted these are only 600 lb springs

    I added some rigid reverse lights courtesy of @Rome604. Wired them right into my reverse lights so they’ll come on every time I’m in reverse. Looks like a UFO coming at you. I’m going to get some output shots later.

    This last one got a reflection (I assume)...and looks like you've got a few small (rock light-ish) lights on the rear face of the diff!!

    I don’t know what it’s called but it’s a result of BRIGHT lights shining right into the camera. Causes some weird effect. But some diff rock lights would be lit.

    Especially when you've got real/professional grade photographers while hitting trails/camping!

    Good. You can start with the billet tie rods and double sheer kit, then move to the jd fab lca mount.
