    I initially used rattle can paint and hated the way it turned out. Took everything apart and went with the plasticote. How long did yours last before it started peeling?

    Ooh man! Shock relocate is burned in! So much droop. Time to stretch her legs!

    Shackles have a bit more droop left to them, did you stick with the stock shackles with rubber bushings?

    Yeah. If I swap out the bushings and/or shackles, and get more droop, will the lower mount have to be redone?

    Check the spring clamps. See if they are limiting your pack.

    If you followed the archive directions for your corresponding shock length (45 degrees for 12" or whatever) then it should just be a simple swap of your shackles in the future. Not a big deal tho, looks awesome!

    A few mods here and there and counting....
    Weird, I have the same one you have in the lower center console from AirOnBoard and there is no play at all. Feels solid. In my brother's 4Runner, we used a rj45 keystone and a custom switch blank(same one as the Tacoma) from Shapeways created by a member here. That is also solid.

    A little trimming is needed but not too bad. But man, what a difference. Can't wait to install the new suspension/coilovers, UCAs & maybe a CMC next week.
