I didn't reconsider the Fox/Fabtech's since I was running them before and wasn't really happy with their design or performance.

Update! How are things coming along?

hey im curious im thinkin about switchin to LC Coils and shocks, whered you buy yours??

TIP: -keep in mind the coilovers take a little while to settle, mine took about a week to fully settle, then i went to pismo and they seemed to settle a little more, just cranked em up again this morning.
-Easiest way to get the spanner wrench in there to adjust them is to unbolt the upper control arm
-Crank the driver side coilover a tad more than the passenger side to compensate for driver and gas tank weight.

I got my LC coils and shocks from toyotapartsales.com

Here's a link:

Coils:

Shocks:

Thanks a lot for the tips. I have been out there cranking until my arms are numb trying to get these things to the right height. Once they settle and I adjust them again, I'll definitely remember to unbolt the upper a-arm.

I have been unsuccessful at getting all of the pictures taken, just a couple that show them installed. It started raining as I was finishing up and I was ready to call it quits anyways. I'll try and get some more up tomorrow before I go in to work. Here are a couple of pics:





More to come!!

No, that's an invisible coupler. It aids in CV travel and articulation, and also acts as an independent locker for those tricky off-road situations. Another bonus of the invisible coupler is the added one billion horsepower .
