Even with OME coils (1.5" lift roughly) I've noticed the handling can get squirrely sometimes. One potholed roads, your back end jumps around a bit a side-hops.

Matt are you having this problem even after the panhard drop bracket was installed?
I have the panhard drop bracket from 4crawler its just not on the truck yet since I haven't been able to get the damn bolt out of the old one. The bolt is seized to the bushing real solid.
How did you get that bolt out jagermeister ?

Ya my tires should be here thursday. Im so glad i was able to get the bfg km2's there so sexy haha. But ya that bolt. . . . my friend and I took an 8lb sludge to it and nothing ended up but taking a saw zaw to it and cut off the ends then it just fell out, then took it up to school cause we have a huge press and just pressed out the bushing and bolt. But you can't get just that bushing from toyota which is gay, but then I just put two shock bushing in it ( they fitted perfect ) and all has been good sence.

And ya i thought about the d windows ( don't remember which ones i was looking ) at but ended up with the soft 8's, but either one would be a good choice.

Im still not 100% sure if i want to get the soft 8s or the d windows, the 10$ difference doesnt effect me that much.

I see alot of people with the soft 8s.

But anywho, cant wait to see what she looks like with those km2s
