    welp, here we go...
    taken off of a 2022 trd pro. about 3200mi on them.
    he swapped them out for a new set of dirt king.
    $1300, plus a bit of travel time.
    i figure these should work for now, and if taking the top spacers off makes enough of a difference, then i won't worry about finding the stock collars.

    still have some collecting to do before they go on.
    i want to do leafs, brakes, ecgs bushing, and whatever else might be a good idea... all at once while it's apart.
    road trip to the mccloud river isn't until the 1st week of october, so i have some time....

    yeah.. one shock is missing the nuts, so the top spacer was loose in the box.
    if taking those off drops me an inch, i may be golden.
    it'll probably come out to at least 3in above where it is now, just because the bumper and sliders have dropped it considerably.
    looking forward to seeing what kind of improvement they make.

    yeah, that was why i just went for it.
    if i like the way it rides, i'll have a nice setup for not much more than i see people selling the shocks for (with higher miles).
    if i don't like it, then i can probably sell for at least what i paid for it.

    i didn't see any marks from the uca's rubbing at droop, so i'm guessing they really didn't see any offroading, like he said.
    his truck looked immaculate, too.
