Hope that list is what you were looking for

That's pretty good and a "safe" list. If you want more rear articulation use the stock factory 95 FZJ-80 shocks. At 26 bucks each, they are a bargain. Believe it or not but they will be a bit stiffer than the OME firm shock, which is silly soft to go with the OME freakin stiff coils. Also you MUST use my aftermarket bumpstops with these shocks or you will over compress them and destroy them.

Also the OME front shock is very nice with the huge piston, but it is too long. It will give you too much droop especially with a top out plate, what this will do under certain situations is rip the cage out of the outter CV becuase it was too low and turned. Basically too far out of the safety box, which I why I would put the Tundra TRD coils on the Tacoma Double Cab TRD shocks. Bottom line is that they are not as long and less expensive.

You can run front limiting strpas with the OME shocks and control the droop. But that is then yet another expense.

I don't think so, but it really does not matter, I ran the Old Man Emu FZJ-80 soft shocks with 4.5" spacers after the Dana 44 was on. Those were right on and the Factroy shocks I had here were the same.

The yellow Bilstein FZJ-80 shocks I tried back in 2001 were so stiff it was terrible.

I have tested this stuff, the bottom line is that other people don't get things to test unless I have already nooded off on them and test the stuff myself.

Still the only issue may be the e-locker cover if you bend the rear sway bar. I have not had time to deal with at all.

Ah yes, the swaybar issue-not sure if mine is bent or not but it is really close to touching that cover even when it's on flat ground.

No. FJ coils and FJ shocks. Get the OME shocks if it makes you feel better, it's all pretty much the saem in the end. The 891 is fine, it's just stiff.

OK got all the goodies well not all the goodies still awaiting daystar studs and exd. brake lines from AllProOffroad. hmmm to be honest the FJ springs are pretty tall especially because the front looks a lil low w/o spacers damn kinda uneven now that I think about it. Sonoran Steel did great with the soft bumpstops, panhard bar "super badass", 1/2 spacers, thank you Steve I'll be in touch for the bumper soon.

There are a bunch of places to host them yourself free (webshots.com, photobucket.com, etc to name a few).
The site will resize them if needed when you upload them, then just link them to your posts here.

Do they wear evenly? Are the sidewalls as weak as what I have read about?
