Have you ever taken that roof rail end cap/boot off before? I've seen that same dent on multiple 4Runners (including mine) after using a lever to pop that boot off. Doesn't take much force there.

Yes but that was months ago and it did not happen then. I would have noticed it if not right away then the first time I washed it.
 
Had the 285s installed this morning. Goodyear Duratracs LT285/70R17, D Load. Overall it drives great on the tires. They are much quieter then my 41K mile stock Nittos. They do ride a little rougher but not bad at all. I can definitely feel the extra weight and the slight loss of great ratio but overall it's not terrible. Still have to do a little clearencing on the front bumper. I'll see how bad it hits the gas mileage and report back.

Last week my wife and I made another trip to Julian, and I finally shot enough video there to complete this:

Though it's not a ghost town, this former mining town has many historic buildings, great scenery, and a chance to tour an authentic gold mine from the 1870s.

I always question how no extra weight and standard coils over my 700 fronts and bumper/winch would feel, but I'm overall happy with them.
Wow 700#!! That's a heavy spring for stock front end weight. I'm surprised it rides so well. Funny they use 700# while King uses 550#.



If you’re referring to my post, the fox coilovers come with 600# springs and the ride is fantastic!

Awesome! Hopefully installing mine this afternoon. What settings are you using on the DSC?

No I was actually referring to MyanRagahis post about 700# springs on his Radflos.

I switched to 600# springs on my stock Pro and it made a nice difference. I think the 600# are a great rate. When I do the Kings next year I'm going to try their recommended 550# rate but will hold on to my 600s just incase I want to swap them out.
 
Installed my grill lights finally. I like the look of these compared to having 3 lights installed.

Sorry, should have worded it better. My bumper and winch is 200lbs extra I have right now. I just wondered how these shocks would feel with the standard springs that Radflo comes with (maybe 600?) and purely stock weight.
The 700s I have feel great for my needs as of right now.

I actually had Bilstein 6112s with the bumper for a little bit. Those were 600lb springs. It handled sloppy with the extra weight and body roll was a lot on turns.
I remember liking how it felt at stock weight though.

I requested the 700s from Radflo. Their standard may be 600 I think. They upgrade springs free of charge so that was nice.

Ah okay. That make more since to me now. I have the 6112 600# springs on my stock Pro shocks and it feels really good. 200# over the nose will make a huge difference. Thanks!
