    I picked up gently used 2.0 coilovers and 2.0 smooth body rear shocks off the classifieds and had them installed yesterday. I left them at the factory setting hoping for 2" in the front to level it out AND get a better ride since my OR suspension has 85k on it. Both goals accomplished! I really like the ride. Kind of surprised me because more than a few reviews mentioned these being rough but they didn't seem rough to me at all. Could be that they are used and have settled in some. Anyway, I will try and get some pics up later today but for now, here are my numbers (I took these quick Ina hot and crowded garage so I plan to double check after a week or so):

    Front driver 22 1/4" (hub) 36 3/4" (ground)
    Front pass 22 1/4" (hub) 37" (ground)
    Rear driver 22" (hub) 36 1/2" (ground)
    Rear pass 22 1/2" (hub) 37" (ground)

    So I do t have to re type, I have attached a screenshot if my post with the numbers before.yjypedud_72e60792b6f3ed5b8e545f43671b3a588a7787bf.jpg

    I do have a question. I climbed under the front to make sure my CV boots looked good since they started leaking immediately after installing the lift on my 4runner. I noticed that the nut you loosen to adjust the coilovers is in the front on the drivers side and the rear on the passenger side. Will this cause issues or is it just my OCD? If not an issue, I will leave them until time to rebuild. Thanks!
