    When I got rid of my 07, the springs were pretty much flat. I didn't understand it.

    My 97 4Runner had an awful rear suspension too. I was surprised that this truck did when I got it. Glad they tried to address it. We'll see how it holds up

    I still have some good arc, but I really haven't had a chance to haul much except air tanks.


    LOL, I can't say this is the first time TW made me crawl under a truck at 11pm

    well my block is 1'', figure 1.5'' would be about the same or a smidge higher. 2'' has me leaning towards my ass being up, although i got a bumper from eric to put on which might bring it down a bit...shit i didnt think of that till now. :mad:

    guess 2'' is the choice till i can get my AP LT. (fingers crossed)

    I have the tsb leaf and an OME 1.5" if that helps you any. As far as rake goes, I don't know. It's going to change again once the winch goes on, and I don't have a problem until the difference is really huge. I don't understand these guys that get worked up over the factory rake :rolleyes:

    it doesnt really bother me to have a bit of rake. But although it's a slight lean, every time i look i get this thought in my head "bro lean" haha. But im just going to dive in soon and get the totec AAL 2''. Should work out well with erics bumper and the beer in my box. :D

    the correct pronunciation is when you put the words together and spell it "brolene". When our trucks are born in Kentucky, they have to be named :D

    Too much of a stretch?

    so when's a good time for everyone to plan the next weekend trail run meet? i've been getting the itch to head up goat mt again. should be doable with minimal snow in most parts. i know a few are headed south next weekend, but just throwing this out to possibly get some people together for a following weekend.

    If you want a hand with installation, I'd be down. I could use the experience. Just know that I won't be the one with the knowledge.

    Hey Mike/Zack, I was planning on making a trip to California to visit my sick brother in law end of March but my mom wants to try to push the date she took off at work to next Friday(3/18/11) so that being said I might not be able to go scout with you guys.
