    Head strong makes alot of sense. On the diff drop. It's the CB drop I'm worried about.

    Did you all have any issues with vibrations using the Wulf AAL? Mine gets installed on the 8th and curious if I need to get some shims too.

    I did not use any shims and have yet to experience any vibrations. I know OMGitsme said he used a 3° shim in the rear.

    Did your pro skid interfere with the diff drop

    Hi, I have a question, I bought them assembled at the bottom notch; is it possible to move it to the top notch myself or do i have to bring it to a shop for the spring compressor?

    To anyone doing this job on their own; I learned something new watching this video, in regard to compressing springs and swapping top hats from strut to strut.

    I have done many suspension installs and always used the sketchy spring compressors to load the springs and remove top hats. When I did the Eibach kit on my truck, I used the spring compressors as usual and found the compressor tool was a very tight fit between the springs on the factory struts and the Eibach kit.

    I watched this video and will never rent a spring compressor tool again. I tried this on the driver side strut and it worked without any issues and it didn't scratch the paint on the springs like it did on the passenger side using the compressors.

    I wasn't worried about the compressors flying away on me or any scary stuff like that. Just compress the lower control arm with your jack to load the spring on the shock and loosen the top nut on the strut. Remove the lower control arm/ ball joint to spindle bolts and loosen the inner lower control arm bolts and lower the control arm with your jack. Then just take the lower control arm to strut bolt out and you're free. You can even leave the top hat in the truck and install the new setup in reverse order. :cool:

    Just got my alignment done at Toyota and my steering is back to normal (was a little loose before).

    Looks like it wasn’t too far out of spec, except the toe which would have eaten my tires over time.
    I was told the caster was as much as they could gain while getting everything else on par, but this will have no effect on wear.

    I see you have the pro skid, did you have to get longer bolts to accommodate the diff drop

    Threw on the kit last weekend. It’s set on the second notch, no rubbing whatsoever. Methods and 285s went on today. I know it’s sorta squatting but I have an icon aal ready to go on tomorrow. I love how it’s coming together!

    My progressive 3leaf icon AAL came in yesterday. Anyone running this kit? Did you get a true 1.5”? Thx
