    That is pretty weird that the old ones didnt have this issue...I wonder what the heck is goin on?...

    Are you gunna address the bump stop issue or leave it as is since tuff country says there is no issue? Which i still cant believe they dont seem to think they're needed. Toyota certainly thought they were needed and engineered them into the front end, along with all other companies (that i know of) that make DB lifts...

    @Hiluxborn your details don't mention where you live, but if you are not comfortable with suspension I'd suggestion looking in the regional forum for your area here on TW and seeing if you can't get a suggestion for a reputable local shop that deals with offroad/overlanding vehicles and suspension. Some of the best are independent shops, not the big chain stores. You'll probably even find people local to you that are willing to help fix the problem for a few beers and pizza.

    I'm in Eugene Oregon . I have been to the shop that sold me them and they even know lol . I also have been to five places trying to figure this out. I'm not going to drive it till I know what the problem is.
    Regional form? Sorry is the first time I've ever even used a form so I don't even know what I'm doing looking for help

    Eugene is a nice area, I have some relatives through marriage there. Sadly I don't know the local shops, but I'm sure there are others in the Northwest Forum that would help out - https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/north-west.40/ is the URL for that forum. Create a post there asking Eugene locals for some advice, you may get a good shop suggestion or even find someone local to you that's willing to help out.
