    Happy Sunday Y'all.

    @Texoma got my lift kit on this past week - the dude is a machine and does great work. I ended up getting a little under 3" all the way around with the Eibach kit and Ironman 4x4 leafs in the rear. Apparently 5 Colorado winters and road salt managed to seize up my LCA's so I have a little more work to be done but I'm pretty thrilled. Haven't driven it a ton yet, but first impressions are good - drives really smooth and feels loads better than it did. Looks pretty sharp too.

    A little something every chance we get.
    So, me and LBR went to a friends down by SA and did a thing yesterday.

    20210908_095738.jpg

    Well, Scott did all the work, but my ankles and feet are still sore from standing on them and being the gopher all day! Exciting (to me anyway) results from yesterdays rear end Botox on LBR. Can't wait for shocks to finally come in.....

    We put on this stuff;
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    The too many details will, of course, eventually hit my digest. One thing, this multi-leaf AAL isn't like sticking one in there, and I was REAL glad to be at a place with the lift! We adjusted the lift and jack heights MANY, many times. And clamps work.

    So, here's the stuff installed.

    Before (1" spacer block) & after (2.25" AAL, 2.5* shim, U-Bolt Flip);

    Before & After @ Home;

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    And I "spray cleaned" a lot when we got done.....

    [​IMG]

    No more backward rake. Rides pretty good, lacking the shocks that are coming. And that's the scoop!

    Hopefully nothing.

    Right meow is a different story - about to head to the Toyota Store and come home with the missus’ new RAV4 hybrid (no more Prius!).
