    Noted, and thank you.

    Ah, I hadn't actually taken that into account.
    Just the rear? Or front?

    Biggest hurdle is actually properly compressing, and swapping the coils, and I have my old stuff away, so, I don't even have anything to stuff under there...

    I have a spring compressor. Worked for 6112s and no one died. Still sketchy.

    rear lines would need to be extended or they become limit straps

    edit: front should be fine

    Claw spring compressors scare the dogshit out of me. I think I have 6112s in my future. Ever do the bigger coils "on truck" using the weight to compress?

    Yes, way less sketchy imo. I think it should be a set of 3 instead of 2.
    I think mine would be fine on 887s after seeing them work on 650# springs



    how did you make out with your caliper bolts?

    Rounded off the first upper softline flare nut with a brand new decent flare wrench and said "F this" and took it to a shop. Shop was a mistake for other reasons, but dude said he had never seen the caliper bolts fight like that.

    I had the loan of one when I needed it way back when. I hated using it because like you, they scared the hell out of me.

    Just the rear.....fronts are fine. Last time we did my 6112's, we had 3 of the clamp compressors on each spring. Also used a ratchet as well instead of an impact......a lot less sketchy.

    Just rears unless you want to give a stiffer pedal feel with front stainless lines as well. Make sure you get the Teflon lined ones so you can pinch them off if needed. I had/have a guy that will come out and make lines on the spot as needed as well if you want

    Got the deed to 17 acres in my hand. Headed out to find the best place to put up a cabin and see how far into the woods I dare creep with the truck.

    I love my new truck but miss my Tacoma
    If anybody wants to try out their new suspension just take a ride to Bellingham. The paved part just south of the center is worse than the gravel part near the middle school!
