    I'm betting they were designed for a 6in DB lift. Also Fox's are notoriously bad on the road but soak up high speed off-road better.

    If they were designed for a 6" db the overall coilovers would be longer. .These are the exact same length as Bens icons

    All I can figure is like mentioned high spring rate and also the extra looks like 3 inches of the mounting plate and stuff is causing so much lift

    They're 1/4" longer total length then Bens Icons the top plate isn't oversized. Its like there's a 1000lb spring in the front.

    So I replaced my front diff needle bearing yesterday. I think it helped but there is still some play in the cv shaft. When I fingered the diff the spline is what moves up and down.

    I'm not sure..especially since I'm a PreRunner with no diff...but I believe a lot of people replace the bearing with a bushing???

    Not really, I loved her, but I've seen this shit coming for a month now. She's brainwashed and has no ability to compromise when it comes to faith or people's personal beliefs. You're either Southern Baptist or wrong in her eyes.

    Same thing I told her. Took advice from some of the older guys and told her to adjust her attitude or hit the road. She broke traction when she pulled off.

    Megan and I were just talking about that topic yesterday. I wanted to hit up shoe creek, she wanted to play volleyball this morning. I gave a little and made it clear that compromise is important and works both ways. She gave me the misty eyed girly look.

    Any woman that has to take the lead in everything won't satisfy the heart of an adventurer. And Jake, just because you have a harder time making a discussion than a Ritalin addict on withdrawals doesn't mean your not an adventurer at your core. Besides, even Jesus Christ wasn't ready to be Christ until he was 30!
