    Scrubbed some tires, and knocked a dent out.
    So a bunch of the tabs I kept opened in preparation for installing my lift are apparently closed now due to innactivity.

    I have a good guide from "my wifes 4runner" for the ecgs bushing. I have a decent video from "jason explains things" youtuber installing 6112's and I have tacocart762's thread. Also have team oil drops install of 5100's. I of course have the giant thread of billstein 6112/5160 but damn thats a tome.

    I know I had a lot other info, but I cant seem to find them all again. Any good videos/threads yall can recomend? Seems pretty straight forward but I like having good instructions.

    Thx

    Awesome. Thanks guys. Feel like Im pretty set.

    Plan on an alignment after the lift. Not planning on new UCA's unless the new suspension and alignment proves to really need them.

    Also, I know it will take me a lot longer than most. You should see me do an oil change! Shits to expensive to fuck up!
