    Those shocks looks like they'll be a great upgrade.
    I don't know if it's a wide angle distortion, but those leaf springs look tired as hell!

    Yeah. Stupid Dakar’s. They’ve had the W shape since install. Still have plenary of lift and weight carrying capacity on them. So IDK.

    frame is in good shape, not much rust 4 yrs. my tyger auto steps great shape after 3 yrs, hardly any rust, the fox fittings and shock was clearly bare metal , with no plating or any kind of anodizing,, just poor quality.. junk...crap.. buyer beware....they will be coming off and replaced with something that doesnt look like shit ,,rusty shit,, bought them from headstrong offroad, wont be dealing with them any more also.. if i bought them from Amazon, i could have sent them back,, for my money or replacement.. lesson learned,,

    You'll have to hit them up as cost varies a ton. Just give them a call. I've talked to multiple people there and they are super nice people

    What's everyone doing about the taco lean? I'm running fox 2.5 all around and thinking about adding a 1/4" spacer to the driver side. Thoughts?

    Just crank the the collar a few more times om the driver side. Do not put a spacer. It will over extend and bind up your cv shafts

    No worries, and I can understand that thought. It won't take much preload to make up for the lean. Since the coilover is mounted on a control arm, it will take very little adjustment at the shock to make a bigger change at the wheel. (rough example: 1/2" of preload may adjust lift height 1" at the wheel)

    @AccuTune Offroad What are the recommended rebuild intervals for P/N 880-02-418? I'm all about preventative maintenance, and would hate to NEED the rebuilt because they failed. Thanks!

    I set my high speed dsc to be at the firmest setting. I'm trying to dial them back and they seem stuck. Is this common?
    Can I back them off easier if I Jack up the truck a little?

    Mine are tight as shit for high and low speed. Same with the rear (2.0s). I put on some gloves and tried to get my arm in there for the best leverage and it worked after liberal amounts of elbow grease.

    I used a punch in the dowel hole to get it moving.
    I think I ruined them now tho. They spin in either direction and I get the feedback clicks.. problem is, they don't have a hard stop on either end of firm or soft now. They will just continuosly rotate.
    I think I wrecked them. Super stoked about that lol
