    Recently did the ome Dakar pack, extra leaf, greasable shackles and ome nitro chargers. Up front I used Toytec adjustable coilovers and jba uca, bilstein 5100. Rides great (little stiff but not bad). Little jack rabbit going on but I’ll let it settle and see if I have to increase the front. I have Firestone airbags and daystar cradles when I carry things.

    Looks good! I'm about to tear into my suspension as well.

    Are those Aftermarket UCA's?

    Yes. They are JBA upper control arms. They have worked very well. A lot of people (when they were new) had issues with the ball joint boot cracking and ripping. I have the updated design and they have been holding up for the past 2 years with no problems. No noise from them at all either. I refreshed my lower control arms with whiteline bushings and all new caster bolts/hardware.

    The front suspension is about 6 years older than the back. Little dirty but - works fantastic still. Eibach 600 coils on Bilstein 5100s. I put the JBA's on about 2 years ago. Maybe a little less than that.

    Those are Toytec coilovers. They just came with Eibach 600 coils and Bilstein shocks. I believe they still come with Eiach coils or other options.
