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.

No idea how much up travel. I've never checked. I'm gonna have to hit really damn hard to hit full bump though.

I've got Santiago and trabuco canyon about 40 mins away but too many people are usually there to really open it up. If I get everything put back together before next weekend I might try going super early though.

It's been a long week and a half putting shit back together but she's on all 4. Need to put gear oil in the front diff, an alignment, and at least front skid, but she's gonna be ready by thursday.

Can't wait to drive it with the new shock tune. Went with what ADS suggested and I lowered my pressure down to 150 from 170.

Also found out my steering rack is leaking on the passenger side, but that can wait.

Looking forward to seeing how much of a difference everything ends up being with all these changes.

Me too. There's a double dip around the corner. If I can get my camber looking normal tomorrow at lunch I'm gonna nail it and see how things feel. Right now my specs are super fucking off so I don't want to take it out of the driveway until I can adjust it some. Got an appointment for a full alignment Weds morning.

That's a good looking rig right there!

You could’ve just said you have SCS wheels and gotten the cred for a sick build brah

:rofl: I've had them for a couple years now. Kinda kicking myself for not going 17s when I had the chance though. Might eventually toss them on the Tacoma so I can upgrade my brakes on the runner.

it's the only *decent* reason for going to a bigger wheel, bigger brakes. it used to be wheels were tire specific, but now you can get tires in practically any size, width, tread and even colors for the fast n furious crowds. more rubber is more better.

Yeah it's not in the cards anytime soon. I already stop better than a Tacoma because I have disc all the way around.

I wanna see all this desert prep....all I know is you drive over dirt to go camping. Maybe you misspelled it and meant dessert prep.
