    Just got them in, stock length expedition series on a 18 Tacoma. My question for any that have installed, did any of you lose ride height? I lost nearly a half inch compared to the stock arms.

    This is not typical. Did your ride height change after you had driven on the them after install? Maybe the bushings were just a little stiff after install and needed to be worn in a bit. If it hasn't changed since driving on them it can be fixed with adding some preload into the shock.

    thanks for the reply, talked to support and the stock arms were probably giving me artificial lift if they were torqued off the ground since the bushings don’t rotate like the TC ones do
