    Nice! Reminds me of an old Hilux I saw on another forum.

    My custom Deaver expos and also the front ADS coils are starting to sag a bit on the driver side. Between the driver, fuel, plate bumpers, oversize battery, winch, and HD alternator the driver side must be quite a bit heavier. Deaver said I can rotate the leafs but I'm not sure yet if the coils can be swapped L/R. In the future I would probably go with a stiffer coil in the front after adding all that weight. At highway speeds I can hit the front bump stops on a dip.

    I've done a mod or two
    What spring rate for the front? 650s are like right in the pocket for the front of my truck but I have a 4cyl and synthetic winch cable too so I could see maybe needing heavy springs like 700s to hold a tall lift if that's what I was after on a V6 truck or a truck with heavy cable.

    I can't find now where I specified the spring rate. My memory is telling me that 650 was a bit higher than the default and I didn't ask for it. I'm looking for a photo of the stamp on the spring.

    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    If i like it it will. But right now the latch on the rear door hits my table on the swingout on Frank. So rather then mod my rear bumper Im going to go spend a night or two in the wildernest to find out if I want to even use it.

    ADS comes with 650lb springs standard.

    Id just crank the driver side a turn more then the passenger.

    If your hitting bumps though on the highway you might need more front end lift anyways.

    Those are different travel length shocks, so they would be different. The overall height, if extended, is similar.

    Considering that no piece of fiberglass is perfect, they fit pretty good. Very minor trimming and it fit flush. Super happy with them. Just wish they were 4.5 and not 3. I plan to get some 4.5 on it down the road.

    Definatly tightened things up, more than I thought it would. Also did the slip joint mod one the steering wheel to solve the excessive play issue.

    He is coming out with a front bumper too. That dude is super nice, him and his wife come to our brewery meets in san diego. His truck is sick, his wifes 4 runner is bad ass. I would love for everyone to support him but dude...I love my CBI and they turned out my order way faster than expected.

    Making a drive out woulda been fun! Wish I did that, but yeah they charged 200 extra for the dual and I laughed when they said how much the tables were. Definitely can be done for less
