    Got a thing done today; literally too easy. Don't even need to lift the truck.

    Stock one is much lighter/thinner, but the bushings have plenty of life left. Will toss in storage as a just in case :burp:

    I decided to replace the bushings on my GX panhard. Have Energy bushings for all rear control arms and 20T press on standby. Have you looked into the PCK (panhard correction kit) from @eimkeith? I have KDSS spacers and the PCK on order as well.

    I have, and would consider it but I can't weld.

    I may pick it up at some point and get it done when I head to so cal, but I faired pretty well on some technical trails with stock arms and stock panhard bar.

    It flexes pretty well and I'll only gain a bit more travel as I have longer rear springs that'll go on once my rear bumper is finished being made.

    My rear is limited to the rear sway bar end links because if I took them off, the 906 springs can fall out on heavy droop. The 890 springs I've got sitting aside are longer, and rated for the heavy bumper I'll be putting on.

    I'm in a similar situation. I have a 2" OME kit waiting to be installed along with an airbag delete and coil spring conversion in the rear. I got the heavy kit due to front bumper with winch, along with RTT, 2 dogs etc.

    I don't really want to install the heavy springs until I finish my Coastal rear bumper. Got the bumper mostly done, but still need to complete the swingout.

    Hard for me to justify buying adjustable rear control arms right now, so I went with new bushings as a bandaid. Adjustable control arms (front and rear) along with adjustable panhard bars are on the list though.

    Speaking of the springs being taller, the box itself shows how much longer

    Sounds like you and I are on the same path.

    I won't be adding an RTT but I'll make up the weight with rear shelf, etc.

    I too didn't want heavy springs but at the cost of coils for our trucks, I figured I could use the 906 for a bit, and sell them off with low miles once I put on the 890.

    At under 200 per set, it's a lot easier selling them off and replacing versus doing so with a leaf pack on a Tacoma.

    Least you guys have rear arms available off the shelf. I ordered my custom rear arms July 30th :laughing:

    Agreed. Decided to go heavy for now, and if I feel like it's too stiff, go with something different. I've had my eye on a medium spring with airbag for heavy loads (hehe...).
