    Knowing the manufacture of the A-arms & the notch I’m betting you probably need to run a SAE tap through the hole!
    Oh, can I ask what size rubber you have on the Xrunner wheels? Just curious…

    I'm looking at stepping up to a 295/40 18 instead of the 275 I've been running since Achilles apparently doesn't make the atr sport 2 anymore. Which could be had for 70-80 bucks a tire.

    What part is incorrect? Please share the correct info for us, I'm still new to most of this and would like to learn.

    Hmmm…
    I let mine hang at full drop and didn’t have a issue with lubing. Maybe different grease guns?
    Can I ask what blocks you ended up with on the rear?
    I also remember you saying Bilstein’s were out of stock. If you’re not going to fork out the bucks for adjustable shocks you might want to look at KYB’s. They make different shocks that should work well. KYB Gas-A-Just are pretty stiff… There’s many shocks that fit the five lug.

    Yes! Let the front wheels hang at full drop. Did you also get the rear bumpstops in all the way?

    @mjbtaco,
    Not Mine in the link below. To mjbtaco or any other 1st Gen guys looking to lower with double adjustable Viking coil-over’s I found a set that’s located in Mesa AZ for a sweet price. The seller said the shocks have 5 passes down the strip on them. You will need to purchase the adjusting collars & springs. I would recommend getting springs softer than the 550# springs.

    That's cool looking, I didn't know Toyota made that. I wonder if it's strong enough to use as a hammock? :rofl: It'd be cool if somebody did make one like that.

    Yep, that's exactly it. Moves the effective mounting point of your wheel up higher.

    His looks like 2 inch, hard to tell over the Internet though. Seems like that's the most common one, but I'm sure if you needed some custom length to get your truck *just* right you could probably take them to a machine shop and have some made/modified.
