    Word on the street is that if you notch (or sand down) your toilet seat at the right spots, you would get enough blood flow in the legs to prevent numbness.

    What is Tein?

    And that's not the purpose of a RR, it moves the dividing piston and nitrogen chamber out of the shock tube to allow for a shock with longer travel without having to use emulsified style of monotube shock. That's 1 among many other benefits. A large portion of the RR is actually nitrogen, not oil, and and as such, provides minimal cooling.

    And since youre probably going to respond with "he's just trying to sell you something". Here's an unbiased source with more knowledge than everyone on this forum combined about off-road suspensions.

    You should educate yourself before shitting all over everyone purchasing silly performance parts. Just because you cannot find use or get use out of them doesn't mean more than 5% aren't getting use out of theirs.

    Yes. It's a life changer. My girlfriend bought me one at Target because I kept talking about it. They're so nice that I built one for every toilet here on deployment. Everyone is ordering an official one when they get home.

    Funny thought I just had looking at the price of the one EatSleepTacos bought. I made a bunch here on this deployment for all the toilets out of scrap wood. However, the scrap wood here is teak. So thinking about it, in the states my handmade squatty potties are probably made out of a couple hundred worth of supplies. I think I'm going to bring a few back and put some a nice finish on them to be a show piece in my bathrooms.

    [QUOTE="1truckdriver, post: 14807996, member: 77045]

    Did you preload the springs for more height? Also where they the standard springs or did you go with a higher spring rating to accommodate the weight of your aftermarket bumper? The reason I ask is because I'm considering Fox 2.5 non resis up front and your the second person that has said that the ride is stiff. The other person I know did pre load his springs to achieve 3in. in height. Any feed back is appreciated . Pm if you prefer[/QUOTE]

    No preload. I get my lift from spindles. I also have the adjusters on the RR. 600lb spring rate. There is no need to bump them up with the bumper I have.

    For those that were talking about the squatty potty earlier in the thread, I just received mine yesterday from Amazon. I immediately took it for a test run, and it's great!!

    TEIN is a Japanese suspension company making mid-high level performance coil over setups for lowered cars, just since you asked.

    Comparable to Icon in many ways, though when I had them they didn't make a coilover for lifted applications and definitely no resis.
