    What about regular strongflex vs “super spec” strongflex? Description talks about tighter tolerances and racing… Will that make a difference for the average weekend hack? Or might that make for a harsher ride or something?

    Someone smarter than me will chime in - but based on what you shared I'd expect them to be harder

    You won't get as much 'slop' if that makes sense. You ever drive a stick shift and swap out your bushings to solid ones? Same with motor mounts?

    When I got my panhard bar, I remember only seeing options on their site for the regular set

    I didn't buy his LCA bushings cause mine were already done with OEM

    Fiberglass is the answer really. Also it sucks to work with haha. I am waiting to see what @ForestRunnerFrank99 cooks up with that +2LT kit he was teasing for 3rd gen 4Runner. Might need one of those

    Since I’m going to have the LCAs out anyways is a cam stop/eliminator kit worth it? I somehow got a lifetime alignment from Firestone but get the feeling they are going to void it sooner than later…

    Fiberglass has been a nice addition to mine but damn getting that shit to fit with large tires and getting the body lines and shit to match up was more work and mess than tubbing the front fenders was.

    I had to stop watching his videos I was laughing too hard at work for it being this early, people might think I'm losing my mind...that is if anyone else actually worked anywhere near me

    I'd do them if you're comfortable aligning yourself, no one will want to touch those to align at a shop... and contrary to popular opinion you can align at home and be more than accurate enough to get good road behavior and good tire wear.

    Lucky, every firestone franchise within an hour of me told me to fuck off..

    You could hit up XPOTRPR, Milota and Prise over in the AZ thread. Prise can get the hardware and XPO cuts them, thats what I'm doing. I know he has a design for 2nd gen cams and 95.5 cams, probably could easily figure out 96-04 cams if he doesn't have the design already.

    This is not something I've heard before and I've had a 95.5... the cams are different?
