    My bad forgot to mention that I went to 700# I guess in your case 13” will be fine if it’s the same spring rate

    Will a traditional spinner wrench work on this? If not, what should I get?
    Fox factory series coilovers with #600 spring. Also, how much is too much preload? (Camburg LT with 4x4)

    If you want oem parts I think DMZ orders tundra full neck hoses which are longer and it’ll reach the bedsides. Or I think some people just get a longer fuel grade hose and use that

    Yes, if your goal is to go fast. I've run some of the forest roads north of Charleston, and LT would definitely be faster, but 4wd jsnis needed at all.

    Who all here has run paddles on there truck? I've gotten into the bigger dunes at Gordons and up and down Olds in 4WD aired down but looking to see if maybe paddles would let me dune the big dunes to the hill instead of the small ones by the valley. V6/5spd/Supercharged so I think I have the power to move them, but dont wanna break the driveline either.

    I'm trying to imagine how that could be necessary and failing.

    But I'm sure it's fun as hell.

    I'm pretty sure each resi you have adds +10 points of street credit, +5 points reputation, and 2" of extra travel over rough terrain.

    It's on a few race trucks like Robby Gordon's and this guys who did the one in the pic - but yes you never know when they will show up on a street queen to keep the rear end from jostling the grey poupon in the arb fridge.

    Front long travel custom: king 10" CO, solid lowers, fabbed spindle, heimed everything ect. Rear still in progress, waiting to be put on: bilstein 9100s, T100 axle. Stock 3.4 engine, 4.30 gears.
    What year do you think they order?

    Most people order the one for the older 4Runners, but with 8 inch glass maybe the tundras would work for me

    I’m not sure I think the older tundra model not the most current one, but I’d call Tim at DMZ he’ll tell you.

    I’m assuming most guys here just bought some fuel grade hose of the right diameter and did it themselves. It’ll be cheaper

    Actually, if you have an rtt and skids you really do want a resi for your bumps because you have more weight in the rear. It’ll help negate the weight of extra accessories such as trasharoo, shovel, fridge, etc. I’m working on a patch for the guys with hydro bump resis, send me proof of purchase and I’ll grt one out to ya.

    :D

    For the same reason one puts remote resi's on any other shock?

    I guess it's to cut down on the rear end kicking up.

    I don't see how the added reservoir would prevent the rear from kicking up when bottomed out. The reservoir just adds extra oil.

    Because it's below the valve stack on the piston, so the gas pressure isn't kicking the shaft back out as hard.
