Hey was up .. your name sounds familiar. Yes I installed the fronts this weekend and still waiting for my rears. I may install my icon 2” springs prior to my rear shocks .. they say my rears might be here end of Jan

12 weeks wow .. I’ve been waiting 5mo for my gobi rack :-(

But looking at your picture I'm wondering how you regrease bushings on your Total Chaos UCA? Looks like you need to remove the reservoirs and the mounting brackets every time you do the service?
i used to remove the resevoirs to regrease but i discovered i was able to loosen the UCA bolt without removing the resevoirs. standard offset Box end wrench fits. I loosen the KDSS line bracket and push it out of the way to give more space as well.

i adjusted the height w/ the springs off the body as i swapped 550lb --> 600lbs springs. i also set the allen adjustment facing out so i can adjust the height later if needed. i believe you can adjust while on the truck, just let the A arm hang. i ended up with 6 turns on drivers side (1 turn for my weight) and 5 turns on passenger side.

strangely, with the trd pro bilsteins and CF 2".. my height was 23.75". now with the kings i'm at 23.5". but if stock is 20", am at really 3.5" over stock?

Does anyone know if the KDSS coilovers/brackets will work on a non-kdss model?

This is the issue I'm having. I installed Kings over the weekend, but my passenger tire rubs on the reservoir when at full lock to the left. The driver side doesn't rub for some reason. I'm running the stock ORP rims still, with 285/70, so wondering if spacers would reduce the rub until I get different rims with a different offset.

Yes you'd need spacers or wheels.

OR wheels have the least amount of offset so they're tucked in more than any of the 4runner wheels.
