    I have not installed them yet, I know it is going to make a world of difference though. I got my gears from a 4x4 4cyl Tacoma

    Fat bobs + 4 shocks = one man-able job? Buddy might not help.. I am getting this done. And is it hand tool able? I could buy a new air wrench but would like to save where I can$$

    i did it myself only using hand tools. If you are going to get new front shocks then go to a shop and get the coil installed.

    If you have hand tools you can do it! A vise helps, and if you don't have em rent a set of spring compressors from autozone. I installed all this myself took about three hrs

    I think I went as close to factory as possible but I just have spacers. I haven't noticed any wear patterns on my tires or problems tracking straight. You probably have a little more flexibility though with your UCA's.

    Roughly how much would each cost? I'm kinda leaning toward the QA1's...

    If your on a budget bj flip stiffer coils 4x4 leafs and beefed blocks
    If you have the money definitely drop the money on qa1coilovers up front and get a rear sway bar

    I wouldn't mind investing in it a bit. Providing it's not super expensive. I'll probably be driving this truck until I get out of college and start making some money. (couple years or so.) Next semester I'm gonna be highway driving for about an hour several days a week. I prefer to take backroads instead of the parkway. (Roughly same distance, better mpg, though). and my truck handles like shit right now.

    I believe they're first gen camaro shocks. They work for 3 inch drop in front.

    Couple shocks, some old tires, and a bad paint job
    I've always wondered with a bj flip and Fabtech UCA's would do to help with the camber. To me it seems like it would set the tires perfectly if not a tad of + camber w/ adjustment.
