    Probably not the best of situations. It almost appears as the shock mounting points are above centerline of the pivots? If that’s the case those arms are going to be really hard on shocks.

    Ian and Brittany of WheelEveryWeekend or @WEW can get you dialed if you set up an appointment with them. They got my Junk dialed front and rear very well and that includes going fast in the Desert or Crawling slow on the Rocks..

    Some of the attention to detail from Ian.. tearing down the Front Fox Bumps to measure the Valving and to add a Stroke Reducing Spacer. Ian reduced the Bumps Stroke to 1" to work correctly with the Bypass Bump Zone, and also changed the Valving. One of the things Ian noted was there was an extra Valve Shim in one of the Bumps from the Factory

    Whatever the Secret Sauce that was done to the Front Coil/Overs and Bypasses made my Junk feel like I was driving a totally different Tacoma

    Ian and Brittany getting pulled over by the Park Rangers for Driving too Fast after the Tuning Session..

    Looks like 865 total day rate, 265 deposit non refundable for 2 or more trucks. Solo sessions add another 450. I watched a couple of his rebuild videos and will reach out when the time comes after my rear is finished.

    He also has a full service prep. Picks up the truck, keeps it for 2 weeks and works out all the bugs, tunes, etc for 5200.
