    I think it’s the 888s that give 2.75” of lift.

    Removed my front sway bar and cranked up my adjustable shocks to compensate... Great articulation, but still just a little loose at freeway speeds.

    Find a shop with a "load force balancer".. I had 37'' KM2's on my Jeep and they were pretty much impossible to balance otherwise, especially after about half the tread was worn off.

    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    I almost went a similar route with a couple more colored accents to even it out but changed my mind. I have MGM so it wouldn't show much. Just went all black. This is not my photo but has colored accents around the projector and side marker.

    Question for those muffler people out there. Would you do a dual exhaust with two mufflers and keep each side separate or would you do a dual exhaust with one muffler and basically have it look like an X or H? Which one would be better?

    Just looked at the chart again and I stand corrected. It’s 2.25”. Probably yields about 2” after settling. :D

    Based on comments I've read about the harshness of the other struts and coils, I was a little concerned that maybe I had made a mistake. Everyone's likes are different, but to me it's not harsh and actually feels more planted than stock. The shop that did the work, installed a much more expensive set of Kings on a 4runner last week. The owner of the shop said he actually preferred the OME ride and handling. Said he found the Kings to be much too stiff.

    Awesome. Nice to know. I have the same setup and carry very similar loads. I agree with you, it’s not as harsh as I thought it would be. To me it feels like a truck now not a 4runner. Just got back from the shop after alignment.

    It depends on the noise volume you would want to achieve. The single will be louder.

    There's also the option of a larger muffler consisting of a single in and dual out.
