What is the tool? Isn't it just a spacer?

 

He did mine.

 

A little more involved from the videos I've seen. ECGS sells a couple tools, one for removal and another for install but I realized that it's something that would probably be better left to the pros...

 

Its a special removal tool, and to install its a bearing race installer, I have one modified to fit perfectly.
The removal is the more difficult part..

 

If anyone knows of a 2010 to 2015 tacoma double cab 4x4, please let me know! Been searching high and low with no luck.

 

Hey turns out I'm a freaking moron- I bought my Kings used and turns out the set I ended up getting were the extended travel with the 650# springs.

 

Whats one of the benefits of an extened front coilover? More travel? Also whats compression adjuster? .

I was looking into suspension and hopefully by blackfriday i have enough saved for stage 2
. So i have the next 5 months to save.2,500 and hope there is a super duper good deal. But that means saving 500 a month :/ i may have to brown bag the beer meets if im serious about this lol. I can spend 40 easy on food and beer each meet. :/

 

Extended travel needs aftermarket UCAs to take advantage of the "extended travel" and it's another 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch of travel over the "standard travel" option.
I think you were looking at fox, fox has a dual speed compression adjuster for high and low speed. It allows you to fine tune how the coilovers react over bumps. You can make it softer/stiffer and slower/faster to your liking. It's a really cool feature IF you know how to use it. I have adjusters on mine and never touched them. To really yield a benefit you need to run the same section over and over again to feel the changes from making adjustments. Once you have it set up it'll be better than the same foxs without them.

 

Nice thanks mike.
i was planning to get spc uca anyways but for 3/4 " may not be worth it not sure yet.
And that makes sense with the adjustments however i dont think i would every try to mess with that. I have tried messing with compression settings on my mountain bike before and... yeah i messed it all up.

 

yes very similar to the suspension on a bike. I have the adjusters on my Icons, but honestly haven't even touched them. It would be cool to mess with the settings and see how it changes things, but I don't re-run the same section to feel the changes.

 

Adjusters are fun. You can notice out in the desert actually. If we do some desert runs this fall /winter you can run a section over while making changes

 

Get the extended version, but get UCAs like mentioned, DO IT! And having compression adjusters are very nice to have, get those too.

 

Pssshhh, I know of a mall we can test those bad boys out on.

Reminds me of road crossings during a desert race, they always try to slow us down , but I just fucking send it! Haha nice!

 

damn that's a gnarly save! i think most have bailed.

 

Damn that guy had a nice save
