    Full side to side. Looks good. Still needs aligned. Not sure how a national chain doesn't have 2016+ Tacomas on their file for alignment paperwork (need it for Hawaii safety inspections). It's rubbing a little currently on 285/75R16 Duratracs but moving the caster forward a hair will fix that. We clipped the edge that was catching a lug off on each side and it's minimal now.

    Looking good. You on 650lb or 700lb coils? Just trying to see how much I need to preload mine whenever I install them. Right now I'm on 887 coils with OME shocks and had to add 1/2" spacers for the extra weight. I'd like to be same height or a tad higher...

    I'm on 650# coils. Not sure if that's a lot of pre load or not. I'm not running any armor right now because a weld on my IFS broke when I dropped it to remove my sway bar.

    IDK about 3rd gens, but measuring fenders from hub is misleading on 2nd gens because rear fender sits higher even when level. Best to measure front and rear ends of your sliders from the ground, since they are level with your frame. Then you'll know you're truly level.

    The hub to fender measurements are more for calculating how much lift you got over stock and comparing them to other trucks. It is a more standard place to measure from since slider mounting points can change from truck to truck.

    My fancy spanner wrench will not work to adjust my coilovers. Maybe it has to do with the 700lb springs, but a 5/16" drift punch fits perfectly in the collar. You'll need 2 punches if you have resis like mine. 1 to spin the collar and another one to rotate the coilover enough to get the punch into the next hole when you reach the part of the collar with the set screw. I am very pleased that the preload can be adjusted while still installed on the truck.

    Same deal on my 650# springs. Goes down easier with some WD-40 or equivalent apparently.. but I didn't see that at first.

    I've been researching MT suspension set up. so I have decided to go with ADS suspension set up over Kings. I asked for a quote with rear shock remote Reservoir and triple bypass. Price difference wasn't that much more for triple bypass.
    now If you could redo your rear suspension. would you have chosen triple bypass?

    This seems like a lot of pre load for under 3" of lift.

    No skids, around 150# in sliders.

    driver side could use another go around. It's sitting just a little lower. Those pics are at 3" without settling (driver is just a hair under).

    Running 650# springs.

    Iirc, 3rd gens are sitting an inch higher stock than second gens so I wouldn't want to lift over 2" anyway.

    I'm rubbing all day right now. It's less now but it'll be back when it settles more. My caster for recon is 2.3 / 2.6 and I can get it pushed up after.

    Think I read on earlier posts that 1.75" of threads should be showing to get about 3" of lift on 650# coils.

    Pretty close since typically 4-5 threads showing is about 1" of lift .

    ...too much shit to list.
    One off ADS 4runner rear shocks. These were on my Taco. Replaced the shafts and changed out the valving and boom. 10" stroke.
