    Tacoma feels like a slug compared to me FJ... and I thought my FJ was an armored brick on the road

    Sweet setup! What did you set your front kings at? How many threads on the driver and passenger side are you showing? Do you have measurements from the center of the hubs to the bottom of the fenders? Sorry for all the questions but I have the exact same kit and am in the process of adjusting.
