    yes, the VF2AM from an FJ cruiser or 5th gen 4runner will both work, they come on the trail edition.

    I've got an ADD sitting on the shelf, and soon will have an electronic T case if you want a simple swap.

    Shocks delivered to Downsouth. :bananadance:

    another note, cant run front coilovers that are valved for dual shocks, when the bypass shock is not installed. So will need to order the dual shock soon, then ship out coilovers again for revalve, whenever the dual shock is in hand and ready to be installed.

    the u402 right?
    I am considering pulling the trigger on the deaver stage 2 u402 leafs at the moment as well...
    but im torn on what I want to do with the rear shocks because I really dont want to do a shock relocation until I (hopefully) end up getting a fresh frame...

    About time. I feel like your build is going about the pace mine is - it will be done in 3-5 years

    yea i know I have seen your kit and have looked at lloyds truck a bunch as well, it is not completely off the table for me either

    i sorta have a hang up though with the bolt on setup, i cant get the thought/paranoia of that shock hardware coming loose out of my head, but I guess anything and everything can break or back itself out also...
