    So just my 2 cents, after doing like 6 month of reviews, wheeling about 3-5 times a year and not having a ton of money, I purchased this same kit last year. Got a black Friday deal and just could not pass it up ($300). It was super difficult to install the coils onto the front shocks because once compressed, I couldn't remove the tool from between the coils! Ended up paying a shop to put the shocks together. I kept the stock UCA's and had it aligned like that. Funny thing is the alignment numbers weren't perfect but there is no more front end shimmy at 65MPH any more! I cant tell the alignment is off at all. Its a little stiff, but after driving for 90,000 miles on the stock TRD Bilstien set up, the Procomp its smoother. I have about 12,000 miles on the kit now and love it.

    Could you just swap out the coils, sure but you would have to find ones the same length but softer?? That seems like more work than its worth.

    Ripped off all four mudflaps. Scratches all down both sides 6112’s up front on 3rd notch 5100’s in back with Toytech 1” block Skids & sliders from SOS Concepts I got rid of the 1” block and put on Wheelers 1 1/2” progressive AAL. SPC UCA. Be sure your standing on the drivers side when reading the instructions! I swapped sides so many times that I can swap UCA’s in 15 minutes. I put in the 3/4” spacer to eliminate the Taco Lean, and just got my 4th alignment. Traded the OEM rims for 17” Sport rims and a bora bora 1” spacer. I got my Firestone 285/70/17 MT2’s. Pelfreybilt gas tank skid and hi-lift jack should be here Friday. Looking at bumpers, but I think they will wait for next year. So far I’m happy with my build. I’ve done it all myself, leading to a lot of cussing and frustration, but it’s all mine.
    For the novice here.
    What shocks springs etc are you using?

    I don't know why it posted that picture twice. I thought even a picture I want to put up there, but I couldn't figure out a way to delete it or change it Frankly I'm more a novice at forums then I am with a four-wheel-drive. Anyway, thanks for getting back to me.
