    Just a little clean up and they'll be good to go. All the trail scratches are luckily on the rings.

    Do you have the thin ring or that big ass one? I know there's an actual name for them but I'm too lazy to consult the Oracle.

    I had a wrench tossed in. I was speaking with Wyatt a little bit and I saw he started using 12" coil overs instead of the 14". What do you all think?

    This might be a completely stupid question but is anyone running 18” shocks/ struts/ coilover in the front? Any issues? Why not?

    The rockslayer kits run 20” and my friend is running 18’s on his 4Runner right now. Switching to 14’s or 16’s and because it’s too tippy he says

    Too tippy? Is his runner really tall to begin with??
    Edit: I only ask because I’m going to have 95% down travel.

    Nope he’s really low but it just gets too tippy because of the geometry.

    Brian Reynolds made a good post about it. Everyone has their own opinions about the matter

    Got it. Nice runner tho!! I’m hoping for that low or lower but we will see.
    I might run 18’s so I have the extra travel and I think with my front end weight/ shock geometry it will be ok.

    IMO I think 20” is just way to much. Just like that 3rd gen swap on IG I believe it has 20” in the rear and front.

    I'm running 18's in the front and it's honestly a bit to much it's rare that i will even use all 18".
    almost did here vvv

    I'm tall and not tippy at all. yeah i lean a little more on off camber stuff but it's still super stable.

    Again as I've said before, anything more than 14" is a waste. 16" is whatever, but more than that come on flex isn't everything.
