so there it is... this will be it for now... i need to cut down the bump stop in the rear..
Also still waitiing for addco they pushed back delivery of my sway bar.. along with that i will be replacing the sway bar bushings and the endlink bushings.
Ok so somebody enlighten me my shocks that i took off where labeled red. the ones i put on r blue n e one know why?? im thinking 4x4??? mine is a 4x2.
also time for some shock wars...lol...i am thinking about upgrading the shocks..i was going to do air shock but it seems they dont make them for our trucks...help?? i am thinking the bilsteins on tundraracings website. whats the difference between them all.. for example the factory tokico and a bilstein..
The final setup that i want is airride in the rear. i have already begun the research i am trying to keep everything under the truck original.. no cutting or welding.
Also working on doing the evo mod and im doing headlight eyebrows as well..thats in the works..

Toyota should have marketed that as an Urbanrunner, I'd be lying if I said it didn't look good, or that I didn't like it, as many will say, they may not desire it, but they respect it. looking forward to others that take their runners in other styling directions.

So all after much driving around with the previous drop for about a month and a drive down the highway i took everything off and went back to the drawing board...looks like a found it now,...i went a head and replaced all the shocks with bilstein Hds.. very nice shock btw..also i went lower in the front to 2in. I installed air bags in the rear and replaced the rear sway bar with an addco sway bar and polyurethane bushings on the sway bar and the endlinks. Drove around for awhile today and holy shhhhh what a difference.. this was the better way to go on the lowering aspect handles grewat and floats like a cadillac..all i have to do now is replace the front bushings on the sway bar n that should be it...
