    ^ NICE. What's your initial thoughts?

    I'm about to put a set on my 2nd gen in the next couple weeks.

    Installed them last March and so far no complaints.

    When I switched over I was still on the original factory Bilsteins and they were pretty shot. I new they had to be replaced, so figured I would upgrade. I ride Fox front and rear suspension on my bike, so have always been a fan. The 2.0 appealed to me because they were a bolt-on, direct replacement. It was only after the fact that I learned the coil-overs raised the front end a bit, so that's a plus. I read up on it and apparently they come with an additional 2" out of the box? Levels the front end, and that can be adjusted lower to your liking.

    Happy with the purchase. Good looking shock.

    Quick question regarding the taco lean and these coilovers.

    I've read toyota uses side specific springs to account for the taco lean, and once you put on aftermarket suspension you may get the lean.

    I spoke with fox and they said they're preset to roughly 2" of increased ride height from the factory. I've also read and confirm with Fox that with these shocks being that they're aluminum bodied you have to take the tension off of the spring to adjust the coilover so as not to damage the threads. So it's not a simple task to adjust the drivers side up another 1/2" if I need to.

    Should I just run the lean spacer from Toytec right off the bat? Or should I put the fox's on as the come and see how it is? What sucks about the second option is I don't want to have to get an alignment twice.

    I could adjust the drivers side that 1/2" but i'll need to take the coil back out and trail/error until I get it adjusted right. It needs to go on a hydraulic press in order to adjust it. I'm only looking for about 2" in the front, I'd like to leave a little rake and I have the TSB in the rear.

    Installed the front coilovers today on my 13' dcsb. Took a little longer than expected getting some old bolts off and when I was doing the passanger side I had to use a vise to press the bottom eyelit bushing in further so it would fit into the lca bracket. Had to give it a little persuasion to get it to slide it and straighten up so the bolt could pass through.

    I chose to run the toytec lean spacer on the drivers side versus adjusting the coilover. Ended up working out perfectly as they came set from Fox, all sides measure up to 22" with the tsb leafpack in the rear.

    Questionable if my needle bearing got any worse, we'll see how it goes but i'll eventually get that done aswell.

    Ride seems wayyyy more plush than stock, the stock ones were really stiff and these just eat bumps. Also took some shake out of my steering wheel that I was getting with the factory billsteins, they actually ruiened my tires they had some really bad cupping on the treds.

    Also tried to put on the wheelers offroad superbumps at the same time but the first one I tried to take off the bolt sheard clean off in the Frame. Going to have to take a look at that tomorrow and get it out, no bumpstop on the passanger side right now.
