    If it was just a coilover lift yeah but a spindle lift leaves the factory suspension geometry intact for the most part but lifts it up 4 inches higher. Higher center of gravity plus 15 year old blown shocks and worn coils combined will feel like a rocking boat around turns.

    Like eatsleeptacos said, just switch it out for some low mileage takeoffs and should help mediate the effects. Maybe even throwing on some stiffer sport shocks will be better for on road characteristics than offroad takeoffs

    take the blocks off lol and if he's running stock shocks they are 100% done. My 06 shocks were completely trash. When I removed them I collapsed them by hand and they just made this pathetic squeal and instantly collapsed and never extended again.

    So replace shocks in general.

    You raised a good point about that.

    this won’t help with sway, but your shocks are definitely too short for 4” of lift. Get some bilstein b110 for rear shocks

    So 5100, BLstn will be good for my rear right? I have an add a leaf that gives me 1.5-2 inch lift in the rear with another 2” block so I think I have 3.5-4 inch in the rear in total.

    I’m gonna see if I can get rid of my Bora adapters in the front. I think I won’t need them anymore just because of this spindle push my wheel out pretty good. What do you guys think?

    No, you need the b110s. 5125 maybe. 5100s will still be too short

    Hey Guys I will go for that b110. I really appreciate all the helps that you guys provide. As soon as I changed my shocks, which I’m gonna try to get it today and install this weekend, I’ll post up the result. Once again, Mahalo!

    Thanks!

    I'd assume those are for 2.5" bodied shocks. If so, they will not work.

    3rd gen shocks/springs will give you an additional 1" of lift up front.
