    Lol. I'm very close to pulling the trigger on those. I need to improve this ride or its going to make me get another vehicle. Potholes and roads are worse now with all the construction going on here. It's not going to change anytime soon either. I'm just hoping it will make a major difference validating the 1k price tag

    It was night and day for me, the constant fight of the front and rear with stock xr struts and eibach springs with the 6lug leafs and qa1s just made for a super racetruck, not that much of a race truck feel. Now that I got the rear sway bar on, chopped the tailpipe so no more over the axle, and notched the fuck out of the main cross member, post cab, I was able to lower the qa1's in the the rear down two clicks so now the ride quality is damn near amazing for how low I am. Might up the fronts by one or two clicks to firm it up. But overall I dont have the constant bump ride, its awesome.:cool:

    Edit: performance wise, have a certain U turn on the freeway out here that I've use as a base

    With xr struts I was hitting it about 45 comfortably
    With coilovers I was hitting it about 55 comfortably
    With rear sway I was nailing it at 65 and could have gone faster......

    Now I'm on to brake upgrades.... batwing will be ordered today or tomorrow and then I will piece together Genesis slotted and drilled rotors and tundy calipers and hope someone parts out rear disc option that they didn end up putting on for cheap #highhopes #fingerscrossed.

    Very nice, I have the ss sways all around already so I think that's my next move. Only difference for me is I have the Monroe air shocks in the back, they have been pretty helpful when I move bikes. Still feel good in the turns, I can't Complain. I'm looking for improved ride quality then performance with this upgrade. It's seriously insane here. We have patches of half as filled potholes all over our freeways. I go over them and fly all over the place at 60mph. Trying to be responsible and use all of my tax return to pay off some bills but those dam coil overs are on my mind!!! Lol

    I'd love to do brakes also. Only thing I've done is change the stock stuff out to aftermarket which helped. But big brake kits would be awesome. Post up what you do man so I can follow! Bro you always give the best information gotta Thank you!

    Jesus J, your truck looks like mine once did. Cept my oxidization was due to the wiper fluid and I had a huge key mark down my passenger side too.

    It's not the water that ruins the paint on the roof. It's the ammonia in the wiper fluid wash additive. That and cheap toyota clear coat....

    Hmm I wonder if thats what it was it just started getting torn up this last year, may be a combo of sitting in the sun all the time now and that washer fluid. What a bitch lol

    Yeah sun bakes the amonia on to the roof. I pulled my hose on the washer fluid so I wouldn use them anymore because I always forget to get non amonia cleaner....
