    I forgot to update. We got a car. Picking it up Friday. Golf TDI. All the MPGs! 3 white vehicles and my gray runner. Le sigh.

    Got the Dobinson rear springs in C59-323 it lifts the 4Runner to 1.5" and corrects the KDSS lean which is the opposite of the Taco lean so it has specific spring sides. Spring rates is 228 lbs. I still have the Metal Tech 2" on but just want to experiment with these springs for shits and giggles :)

    BTW Dobinson is from Australia like ARB and OME and they have waaaaay more different springs with different spring rates for our trucks :thumbsup:

    It’s going to make getting the RTT folded over and pressed down a lot easier.

    Well...I did move. But, when I ordered it they said it would be 8-10 weeks. That turned into 12-16 and at that point I was going to be leaving. So, I gave them my sisters address in AZ and I would be there when it was ready to ship. That came and went after they said it would ship so, I asked them to hold the order until I had a place here in CA.

    Once I found a place I called, emailed and left messages. No return emails or calls so I finally got through to them on Monday and updated my shipping info and the lady said it would be shipped out that day.

    Monday afternoon I was finally charged and I received a tracking number.

    Really, I attribute it to maybe having too much on their plate and not having the most spectacular CS out there

    Ahhhh...moving would do that but dam bad customer service usually seals it for me. I have heard quite a few bad things about Gobi and their lack of customer service.

    Well at least you finally got your part :thumbsup:

    I PCS’d from VA on June 28th and it wasn’t ready to ship so o asked it to be shipped to my sisters in AZ. I left her place July 10th. I called them before leaving and asked if he held until I got to CA. Which they did. Once I got here I emailed them my new address, requested status updates and called numerous time only to get their voicemail, which I left messages.
