Thanks. It didn't seem very tippy its pretty stable I can drive it on the street and it's not to bad. I couldn't drive my XJ on the street at all with the sway bar off and the yota doesnt have one at all.

Nice! You're not pulling the OBA from the Cherokee? What are your thoughts on the duel cases? If you're making those sliders yourself, I've heard that it's bad luck to make just one set, just sayin.

The 4runner is going really slow right now, just can't find enough time to get it all together, but I think you and Travis just motivated me to find the time!

I have to agree, I think he would have the best luck if he makes three sets!!

Almost done with the driver side slider, haven't had much time. I also moved the rear shock top mounts to meet in the middle more and used shorter tabs. The rear shocks were bottoming out before the bump stops touched. I am also installing limit straps from each front frame rail to the center of the axle to limit droop but hopeing not to effect flex, and im hopeing to make it to upper ajax this sunday for more fun and vids

So what kind of shock angle do you have in back now? Are the limiting straps because the front shocks are maxing out or is something binding up?
Upper Ajax will be a blast with that truck. Good luck man!

I really only moved the upper shock mounts in a inch or so and used shorter tabs, so not to obvious. The limit straps are just to keep the whole axle from drooping shouldn't change flex at all
