    That's exactly right. You did it correctly.

    I put my very modest 1.5" lift on my Tacoma and as soon as I backed it out of the driveway and drove down the block I could feel the vibes.

    Ok last 2 question's about the axle bearing. On the link it has the "customize your item" did you also order the seal from the drop down menu? Also did you replace the seal on the passenger side, or not mess with it at all since there was no play? I see it as an option below under the suggested items.

    Get the seal. You'll tear it up during removal.

    Smitty is correct. I had my Icon coilovers leaked after 7 months. I do take it offroad and probably do more rough terrain than most. But I hadn't even got to any real rock crawling. Icon customer service was great. I had to pay the 50 dollars to ship them back to Icon, but they did rebuild them and put new shafts on for nothing. The invoice was for 498.00 so if they didn't warranty them it would have costed big. While I was waiting for them to get rebuilt I figured I had better get some coilovers Cause I had to get to work so I got Fox 2.5 w/ resi's and dsc. Costly but they ride nice. Now I have a back up set for when the Fox blow out.:eek:

    @MagneticTaco4x4 - I'm currently facing the same dilemma you seemed to have here. Same basic plan as far as usage goes - any regrets with the OME? I would also like to only cry once...
