    Well its a land Cruiser with a diesel so I've got that going for me.
    You are going to love that 255 TT rim combo! Looks awesome and no cutting...sometimes I wish I stayed there...but I like the truck now too.

    The shock itself may only be and inch or two longer but because the shock body is so much higher and the lower mount is moved up I am able to use all of the travel afforded by the leaf and shackle flip. The trick with this is that you are limited by how long of a shock you can run since the stock upper mount is so low.

    And by that it's mainly up travel gained not droop...

    did you ever have any trouble balancing your KM2s? The dealership did an absolute terrible job and i ended up having them done at a local place and they are much better. I can definitely feel the additional weight. ill just have to drive more like a grandpa. Feels good to have factory wheels back on.

    I would like to see your rear flex now compared to Jandrews. His shit droops like a mofo! He uses that retarded huge icon shock because cool factor and he could afford to.

    Nope never had any real issues with the KM2s. Balanced fine and rode well. Like any MT not great in rain so watch the wet.

    No I gained a lot of droop. At ride height I have about 4" of up travel before the bumps and I now have about 8" of droop available in the shock. Before I had more shock left over on the bump stop and my leafs were pulling down on the shock at droop. The nicest thing about this is that I got to set the lower mount thus allowing me to fully use the 12" stroke unlike your setup. The longer the stroke the longer the body and the BAMF mount allows that body to get out of the way and get the lower mount right where it needs to be to maximize both up and down travel.

    No shit me too. John's rear flex is impressive. I remember seeing him up on a rock at shoe and thinking how slick that setup was.
