    I want to take alllll the preload off the coilovers and get a shorter spring in the rear. Wanted 2" all around and got just over 3" in the front, and 4" in the rear.

    I wouldn't worry, it'll settle about 1/2" I bet after a few times out then what ever weight you put in/on the vehicle.

    You're evil!
    I was originally looking at diamond axles and multilink front and rear. Over 20K! Not going to happen anytime soon. Diesel swap will probably happen first (when engine is run into the ground, i.e. 10 more years).
    I actually ran up to Issaquah on Wednesday to look at a 95 Mercedes 300d with the om606 engine. Figured I'd get it for a daily driver and down the road, try ro shoehorn the 606 (plus turbo) into the Tacoma. Unfortunately, the car needed a new upper wiring harness and was leaking diesel all over). I didn't feel like I wanted to deal with that hassle right of the bat.

    Yeah I've looked into new axles, which the ruffstuff ones fully built are around $5200 for the rear and $8k for the front. When I can get a set of used axles off CL, clean them up, rebuild/build them up and not have to convert to full float for $5k-$6k, makes it hard to spend over twice that for brand new axles.
    Only way ill go with a new axle is if I stay IFS up front and only get a new rear axle that has better clearance than the 14 bolts or dana 60's.

    I can't really comment on the lift height because it appears you took that photo with a potato.
