    I just put some Pro comp mx6-R remote res 6 way adjustable shocks on the rear of my 6" lifted taco...it makes a hell of a difference...especially being able to easily soften things up when you get to the trail head or stiffen things up for arround town. Plus...as you know the benefits of a resivor....more oil capcity...less foaming, better cooling, less shock fade when really working your shocks.....like when hammering it through the sand/ desert...who gives a shit about mixing brands your not on the cat walk

    It's all in my head at the moment...
    Question....Is there a difference in left rear-right rear on those leaf packs? If the center pin is offset in the pack opposed to dead center it would push the axle to the rear instead of it sitting in the stock position if you installed them backasswards. I'm not knowing what the springs look like, I'm just tossing this out.

    EDIT: OK, found a pic. Is that center pin exactly centered between the eyes of the spring pack or is it favored to one side than the other. Can't see to well from the picture.

    If you had these reversed, again it would move the axle back out of the centerline of the wheelwell.

    Is it Toytec that has the TSB AAL that has more spring meat on one side of the hole than the other? That would make it a left/right application.

    Just asking...

    The AP pin is centered in the arc of the leaf.
