    Nice! Looks solid.

    Just wait til 1000miles the break in is noticeable (in a good way)

    I just did Hole-in-the-Rock Road at Utah.

    Getting them with adjusters definitely paid off.

    Switched them to softer valving on-the-fly.

    Speeding (50MPH+) through unpaved/gravel/washboard was like driving on the highway...

    You should’ve done Hole-in-the-Rock Trail.

    On a 2nd gen maybe. The 3rd gen is 300lbs heavier in the front than the 2nd gen. I can’t remeber who, but a meme her posted that a shop they went to measured the stock coil and it was 713lbs

    Oh yeah, you're right. Just Googled it. The stock shock was valved soft, which explained the bouncing around lol.

    They are awesome shocks and each truck is different on the preferred valving firmness. I would try just for kicks running the front at 12 clicks and see what you think.

    Yep. Valving makes the difference in stiffness. Coil weight is designed to support the weight of the vehicle. You really won’t gain much stiffness from the coil weight unless there is a drastic gap from stock to the new

    I run 10 clicks when I'm on pavement and daily driving.

    I prefer the firmness when on pavement but a bit softer when off road

    Edit: my truck looked like your avatar gif lmao

    Nice. I’ve been debating getting the 255/75/17 of the Yokohama MT (new version)
    For my 4Runner PRO wheels for winter driving and then just have basic tires on my stock OR wheels for summer and the like
