Doesn't look like there's much daylight between your front bumpstops. How's your ride?
My springs are settling and I need to fix that before I hit the dirt roads to the trailheads...

I have about 3 inches of up travel, and the bumpstops give a little....the ride is pretty good. I don't drive my truck very much, so I dont worry too much about the ride.
Look at the last few sec of this video...lots of flex

Thought I would update my thread again....had some more work done
I had my driveshafts re-worked..basically had the rear yoke put on the front shaft and the front yoke pu on the rear shaft..is that confusing?
Old rear driveshaft..could not be balanced because yoke is industrial. Caused vibrations at speeds over 45mph

New rear driveshaft with stock Yota yoke...no more vibs

Old front...only had about 1.5 inches of compression..I was worried about bottoming it out

New front

I havent updated this much recently, because I havent done much. My e-locker and roll bar are still in the garage waiting for install.
I did do some rear suspension work this weekend.
I ditched the stock FJ80 coils I have been running. They made my rear end way too soft...they were replaced with OME 860's. Came out good, and feels much better...
before


After...beefy


Some day I may do a leaf sway in the rear, but this should do for now :thumbup:
