Ouch...cranking T-bars really hurts ride...

I have most of my suspension lift installed, OME 900s, OME shocks front and rear and I am running 31x 10.5 ATs on 15 x 8s.

To level things out a bit while I am waiting on my Ball Joint spacers, I cranked the T-bars.

Ouch.... that really hurt the ride. I feel like Tigger when I drive

I am looking forward to the spacers as 1 5/8" lift from a spacer should allow me to relax the T-bars down to even a little lower than before I started and still get a level truck.

Hopefully, I will get paid again soon and I can get back to the serious business of modding the crap out of my daily driver and smooth out the ride a bit ....

I know your truck looks awesome. Really I don't know the last time a saw a 2nd gen as clean as yours.
Get the spacers, put the t-bars back to stock, get the Dynomax cat back and come over this week so we can test fit the LX450 wheels

Then we wheel the piss out of it

My ride didn't at all either. The shocks really stiffened things up though.

I noticed the rear springs are a lot stiffer, and the front shocks are stiffer.

i havnt cranked my 4runner, but i have my truck, but i liked the ride after. a tad bit more stiff, but i think it actually drives better....

May be me getting used to the shocks which are a lot stiffer.

I just seem to have the hobby horse thing going on with the rocking back and forth....
