Ah I gotcha - that's the # recommendations PP gave me too lol. It's gonna be stiff, but it'll work. I ended up with a 12" 250# upper and 14" 300# lower with Ben's (smkd13) calculations, which we guestimated on the weight of the truck. I found a scale in town though so I might cruise down there tomorrow and hop on. With the minimum charge of 100psi it's a little stiff over bumps etc but it floats down the highway. I'll run it for now but I'll definitely be going lighter down the road and just bump up the valving. Still 100x better than my old setup! This coil over spring rate and valving is a ***** to understand, then it's all subjective. But hey, ErikB is still running 250/350 and he loves it, so who knows?

Seriously though - subbed to this thread (and not to make dumb jokes lol) - giving me ideas for when I have time (and $$) to spend more of both on my own T4R. Awesome build - seriously jealous of the upcoming SAS.imp:
lol if you want to literally know your truck inside and out... do a straight axle swap. I've never learned so much at one time in 2 months.

I'll second that. You wont know everything, but you'll learn so much about your truck and how tiny adjustments affect highway stability and offroad prowess...I even think just being there for the swap and watching the suspension cycle and how it reacts to inputs will make you a better driver offroad...I would never be able to do this without someone who knows their shit...it's just staggering the amount of thought and planning and calculations that go into this to make it right

Part of my problem is the fact that I'd either want to do it all myself or be there for all of it; I'm that engineer guy who either gets interested in something OR sees a problem and doesn't rest until it's solved. So I'll have to hold off until I fix the shimmy issue with mine, and then save up the $$, *AND* have the time. LOL
But I know what thread I'll be referencing.

I am having it done at a shop but I made it very clear that I wanted to be 100% involved in the build and Dan's been cool enough to oblige. There some days he just plain doesn't need me and being that it's an hour away I don't get there every time, but as you see from the pics I'm very involved in this build...and I wouldn't have it any other way...
and BTW if you want a build to use as a reference, look up [MENTION=17736]AddictedOffroad[/MENTION] and their old 2000 Runner...that's what I based mine off of

Off topic but for your bumper, you have the prerunner grill guard. Do the side bars on it get in the way of the lights?

they pass the lights but it doesn't affect the beam at all

That was the answer I wanted to hear! I'm going to be picking up a savage tube bumper with the prerunner guard and just wanted to make sure! Thank yoU!

Not too much left to take pics of...
Steering is getting all mocked up, then painted to match the links, box and PS lines are in, just needs to be bled.
Shifter should be delivered today and provided that it's right, I'll have the interior all back together.
Brakes just need to be tossed on and bled; resurfaced the rotors and still have pretty good meat on the pads so it's just a simple swap.
Driveshafts can now be measured out and built so it'll be a few days before I have them in.
...and that's really it...

Stressful 11 days ahead of me...
Steering links are cut, welded, painted and installed. PS pressure line is in. PS return line is waiting on my special order hose barb that threads into the box. Tomorrow he is getting the strut towers and the strut tower bar made and welded in, and bolting in the coilovers and she'll finally be on 4 wheels.
Friday he's gonna be towing it back to my house so I can nail down all the small things that are left; Finalize and seal transfer case, install shifter (I hope it works), Front and Rear driveshafts, patch together the exhaust, Power steering return line, throw together brakes, assemble hubs. All before her maiden voyage to Rausch Creek on October 12th.

She's on 4 wheels and supporting her own weight for the first time in three months!
PICS!!
Now that she's home I have 5 days to get my transfer case out, sealed and back in...front and rear driveshafts made (although I think the rear might be a direct swap), mount the shock reservoirs, patch the exhaust, make sure my t-case shifter works, power steering return hose, assemble and bleed brakes, assemble hubs, calibrate my VSS and disable ABS/TRAC and remove the bulbs from the cluster and do an alignment.
Hereeee goes nothin'!!
