Nice!!
Pile o parts. king Bypasses, icon 2.5 w/resi, tc lowers, box has icon heimed uppers, bypass hoops, and limit straps.
Icon coilovers will go on the Tacoma and I'll swap the dk uppers/lowers to it as well. The rest is going on the 4runner since the tc lowers have the bypass mount.

Things are happening today.
Bumps are on. What's crazy is how little space there is between the bump can and the tire, but it looks like there's enough with my back spacing.
Next up. Shock tune. My shims showed up today.

That’s why I had to French mine into my frame rail when I did mine. Very little tire clearance in there on the 3rd Gen. Probably not much more on the 4th Gen.
Yeah we threw a tire on and checked before it got welded on and it looked like there was enough clearance to be good.

You wanna tell everyone about the absolutely stupid placement of the schrader valve on the ADS bumps?
It can be very useful in the right situation. I wish I had that style on my BeerRunner. Being on top center is annoying since I can’t get a Chuck on there without pushing the bump can down a little.
Nope. It's fucking stupid. You can't fit a no bleed valve onto it, you can't fit a standard chuck onto it, the only thing that works is the Schrader valve on my kit for airing up.
I ended up buying a 90 degree extension that should work. With the no bleed valve. We'll find out Monday.
I just set my tank to whatever PSI I want it to be and air up the shocks or bumps. Might not be 100% accurate but I’m sure I’m not losing too much PSI with that method either.
I used to use the no bleed valve but haven’t used it in a long time.

No bleed on bumps I'd be fine with, but it's still a royal bitch to even get the caps off the valve. Shocks I'd prefer the precision of the no bleed.
It is a bitch to get the valve caps off. When I can’t get them off I just use needle nose pliers. Not that hard though.
I don’t think 5-10psi is enough of a difference in our rigs (for either bumps or shocks) to even notice the negligible amount of difference in pressure. If we used much lower PSI’s, then I’d say that it’s a potential issue but plus or minus 10psi at 200psi for shocks is never going to be noticed by us.
What PSI did you guys do on your rear?

He hasn’t done them yet but I heard his rear is used to a lot of pressure
Haven't set anything yet but I'll probably start around 180 for the bumps and 150 for the shocks.
Curious to what you end up at once you get it dialed in.
I think 180 will be too high but it's going to take a couple trips to figure it out.
How much up travel do you have at ride height?
Sucks you aren’t close to an area where you can quickly test it before trips.
min pretty sure my bumps would hit the tire on my 5th gen if I didn’t have wheel spacers. I wonder what wheel TC used to develop their weld on kit
