    Thanks and no I haven't it was late when I picked it up this evening but I'm glad I didn't have it done yet since it would be pointless until I add the coil spacer which prolly going to do myself in the morning.. I'd love to go down to his shop and give him a piece of my mind but I'd prolly get into some trouble since I'm so pissed lol

    OP, You can always torch the place...J/K!!! (Mods, I'm only kidding). Get the assholes name and send him flowers from his "boyfriend" and have them delivered on his day off with a nice card that says, "Thanks for the great time last night <insert assholes name>, I sure loved the way you sucked my cock. Kisses, Juan".

    Just an idea, but I'm sure his coworkers would get a kick out of it.

    From what y'all can see all I need to do is add those spacers and fix the cam bolts right?

    rrh 2,
    i know you are pissed off right now and i would be to, but the correct thing to do is go back to the shop and give them a chance to fix their fucked up install, start off by telling him about the tech saying you didn't need the "spacers etc. etc." if they are a reputable shop they will fix their mess, including the alignment cams they put on incorrectly. if that doesn't work i would suggest BBB and then give them a piece of your mind. I can't see more than a few hrs of work here. i would be right there watching them fix that. i hope this works in your favor. I am getting pissed myself, the more i think about this and its not my truck. sounds like you have a level head so go back and make them fix this small problem. it'll work out in the end.....

    The sway bar looks f-d up. I don't have a 6" lift but it looks like something needs to be done about that, especially if you add more lift to the front.

    pro comp stage one 6" lift, 4:88 gear ration, ARB Lockers front and rear
    i have a 2009 tacoma with a 6" pro comp lift, its a stage one, i asked procomp about upgrading it to the procomp stage 2 kit, they didnt tell me much other than " send us $1500. and we'll send you the upgrade parts". my question is what is the diffrence in the two kits???? i'm under the impression its only shocks! does anyone out there know what the diffrence is in the stage one and stage two kits??
    thanks

    the procomp coilover is actually a clone of a fox, if you have them side by side you notice it. but i would get the king or icon resi for about 1200
