    Well its a land Cruiser with a diesel so I've got that going for me.
    Mine are the Rubicon Express ones and with the stock ato shackle flip and the expos my shackle angle is perfect! Doesn't touch the frame at full stuff and gives me a good amount of extra droop. My end goal is to get these 35s under the slider... just need to get the shocks set up and I'm there.

    I dunno if that's good logic...with my billies I don't bottom out at full stuff...I also have 4 1/2" bumpstops... those shock mounts are for more droop since the stock setup will hit the spring pack as you get the axle further down. With the expos these billies are now holding it up and they are hitting the axle and leaf pack down when dropped. Stupid suspension.

    He'd need a short body shock and hoops. I'm trying to figure out how to mount the shocks on the inside of the frame without Inboarding to avoid it all hitting and avoid doing this / \

    My shocks are the limiting factor at stuff, have maybe a 1/4" of shaft showing. Just messing with you anyways. I'm pretty happy with the rear set-up.

    DAMN! 150 for headlights! Are they really worth it? I only question cause that's half the cost of a retrofit.

    Yeah it is half as expensive as a retrofit but this doesn't require me to open my lights, allows me to remove them for inspection and if it shits the bed I send them back for new ones....I have done the HID stuff in the past and have always had horrible luck with ballasts and what not. I'm hoping these give me more performance while still keeping my electronics as simple as possible unlike a retrofit.
