They look decent since this is Toytec's first 2.5 coilover offering. I wonder what the spring rate on those are because the racerunners are way stiff at 700 lbs.

Ordering the full 2.5 BOSS kit soon...any opinions on if I should do the 1" diff drop for my 03 v8 or just skip it, I'd like to avoid if at all possible but I don't want to hurt the cvs

Just from my reading as I haven't done it yet, many who have done it say that lifting closer to 3", driveline noise, and boot wear start to accelerate. The diff drop can reduce the angle at the cv by a few degrees, not much for sure, but enough that the driveline noise will diminish. The problem with the diff drop is that the level angle of the diff fluid changes as well, and apparently can prematurely wear the input gear (correct?). Differing consensus as to whether that is worth it. I'll probably do it on my setup as it comes with the kit. Stage 2 would be the rcv axle upgrade and long travel, which should solve all of that trouble.

I put ~80k miles lifted 3+" with no diff drop on my 4Runner before I sold it. I did replace the CV's once when I had the wheel bearings replaced since everything was parts. I wouldn't worry too much. Most common scenario is the cv boots bellow rubbing on each and wearing thru or the clamps coming loose.

Got em.
My suspension has arrived. A 278 dollar shipping bill should include at least some handling shouldn't it?

Anyone install and try these out yet? I thinkthis will be the kit that I end up purchasing. Already have new UCAs waiting for me at home. Only thoughts are that after shipping through toytec, its very close in price to the Icon stage 1 kit. Which would be a better option?
