Since these shocks are meant for a almost 3 ton vehicle they do smooth out with weight in the back but 99% of the time I have none in the back.
Also if your not gonna offroad with them I wouldn't do the gas tank skid cut either as it only hits under full flex.
Below is a photo of full flex/lifting a wheel with the LC shocks in.  
That looks pretty good, have you measured your flex and compression to see how much travel you're getting? Like wheel travel.

I'm running 1995 4runner links which are ~2 inches longer than stock and the 890s are firmly in place. I grabbed onto the 890s at full flex and could literally shake the whole truck back and forth when yanking on them. Solidly in place. I do have the top cone bumpstops in there though. I'm sure this adds another inch or so to their length

Okay yeah it sounds like we have the same setup, the second gen links and the little bumper things at the top. Okay that's good, while I still haven't officially gone on the trails yet because it's not finished, I do occasionally do some practice on some family property just for fun so I'll just tone it down a bit...haha.

Well I thought about this but the main thing is that I want to spend as little as possible... I'm already annoyed that the Kings didn't ride as expected and that I have to get them revalved... Honey maybe my expectations of $1,000 pair of shocks were not where they should be, or maybe the pair I have has a defect... I'm not sure.. anyway, I just need something cheap and basic to use while they're being revalved.
