Hello, I have a set of Icon 2" rear springs Part Number: 52700. These Springs work for 07-14 Fj Cruiser, 03-24 4runner, or 03-23 Lexus Gx. Brand new in the box. Willing to ship buyer pays shipping. Let me know if you have any questions.

replace lowers with OEM.

Thanks for clarification on the AWD needle bearing or the lack there of. I was still wondering what was going on inside of there and couldn't find a solid answer.

I have noticed from time to time my lowers do make a creaking noise. But it goes away after a little while. Not a big deal in my opinion but worth noting.

UPDATE I believe I have found the cause of the clicking/popping noises. I believe it was coming from my skid plate. I have rci skids and think I over tighten'd the engine skid which compressed the nylon spacer allowing it to make contact with the diff and create these sounds. I removed the skid...

I just did 2 oem 5th gens on mine no problems

I don't believe it's a wheel bearing. I have replaced those fairly recently on both sides and I'm not getting the grinding at higher speeds/while turning. I appreciate you chiming in as I'm open to any thoughts at this point.

Honestly that's what I'm thinking it is from the research I've done thus far. My only hang up on this is that I have the v8 which is full time 4wd and from what it looks like on ECGS (which I assume is comparable to the Yukon) is that the bushing is not compatible. So I'm trying figure out what...

I replaced both of my cv axles last week passenger side was torn, driver side was clicking. I put new oem 5th gen axles in. Everything seemed fine until a week later and now the driver side is clicking when reversing and cutting left. I find it unlikely that I have a new cv that is already bad...

Its easier to replace the whole axle than replace the boot. I've had to replace 3-4 cv's in my 6 years of owning the truck. Super easy to do on your own if you are handy otherwise like $3-400 to have a shop replace it.

Its fine to run the new uppers. Especially if the old ones are shot.

I got 20-22 highway when I first got my v8 runner and it was stock. Now I get around 18 highway with 33s not too bad.

My guess and I'm no alignment pro is that the truck probably drives fine. What I'm concerned about would be the camber numbers which ultimately will wear your tires unevenly. And the castor numbers being that low (won't effect tire wear). As long as nothing is bent like the spindles then those...

Alignment update

Yeah I've always entertained the idea of cam eliminators but could never find enough information about them to feel confident about doing them.
