    They broke a slotted and weak tie-rod mounting point.

    Some guy on 4Runners.com said to check out Dobinsons. They seem to be reasonably priced for springs and have a lot more options.

    If you have the money, then dobinsons is a good choice, but only worth it if you go to the long/extended travel. Dobinsons is what I will be getting in the rear to be able to run a 12" shock.
    Is there anything taller than 888s? If so, he should run it.

    Nope. We thought it was OME but after swapping coils side to side and adding a spacer, it's still leaning. Something else is potentially going on, I just need a flat place to work to figure it out.
    Edit: and it was only the rear, not the front.

    I mean it’s priced very similar to OME. They also have a coil for the kdss lean on the passenger side (which I have) that would help so I didn’t have to try and do the recalibration and end up messing something up.

    I’m looking through dobinsonsdirect.com right now to see what I can find.

    Long story short I had a 1.5" driver lean after installing taller rear coils and we thought it was a collapsed coil, but it might be something else, like a seized link arm or something. We added a spacer and are waiting to see if it fixed it.
    Get the dobinsons MRR. Those things look awesome. The CFO might shoot you, but it would be worth it.

    Did you loosen all your links when you added your coils then torque them once the truck was on the ground and jounced a few times? Try doing that also if you haven't you could be binding the bushings up which are keeping one side jacked up.

    Guess he needs to be told a few more times huh. Half of the settling that people experience after lifting is the bushings tearing because they torqued it in the air instead of weighted and jounced. Mine didn't settle until I put bumper and skids on :anonymous:

    Adam, what was the tool roll that you had with you on Saturday? You like it or wish you had something different?
