With the 1.25" BL, removing my 5100's and installing my fox shocks was a breeze! Look at all that space!
Nice end links.
What did you do with your 4runner today?

Nice...those wheels look great. How's the rubbing so far?

Barely touches the fender liner at full lock and barely touches the body mount at full lock. But that's before the alignment. I'll probably trim the liner in the morning.

Awesome. I'm surprised you aren't having significant rubbing given the 305s width and Stealth's offset/backspacing. Great news though just in case I decide to go with 305s on down the road.

If I didn't have the 1.25" Body lift then it would be terrible haha. I love the 305's though it really gives the truck a lot meaner of a look

Also found out today that the previous owner backed into something. When we put the BL in the passenger side of the bumper cracked and revealed that it was fixed with Bondo. So if anyone has a white 4runner and would like to send me the right side of their bumper, I'd be interested.

I couldn't get anything to hold the top nub of a hex head to keep the shock from rotating. the more I used the vise grips the less of a stud there was lol. I've learned it's quicker just to cut rusted bolts then try and fight them with PB blaster. I still soaked everything in it first just for hopes and dreams.
ratchet wrench as everyone else stated an a 8mm wrench to hold the top stud if you can keep it from rounding out.
he drove it back the hotel Friday then brought it back Saturday to finish. it was a bleeder valve cap all of his "bleeder screw dust covers were dry rotted and just fell off while working on the truck
yeah I just broke loose the LBJ and then unbolted the hydraulic connection to the shock not really a good way to catch it. all the fluid kinda sprays everywhere. also had to cut the passenger side sway bar end link off to get the sway bar out of the way for install up front the Allen head in the upper ballpoint stud of the end link just became a circle when trying to unbolt lol.
I didn't realize jake had RAS and I haven't ever worked with it. it was interesting to see everything that goes into that system. also curious if you can use the compressor for the RAS for an air locker perhaps but to get the old bags out I just stabbed them with a knife. and cut the airlines. (great way to piss off an enemy if they have RAS lol)
so to install coilovers, rear shocks, rear coils with 1.5in spacer on driver side to correct lean, LR UCA's, BL, stainless steel extended brake lines, change rear brake pads, front diff drop, fix two striped skid plate mounting holes, bleed brakes, trim fan shroud to allow body lift, and whatever else we did that I may be forgetting took me 12 hours total not including food breaks or going to grab bolts or brake fluid. I probably could shave an hour or two off of that had I installed the UCA's the same time I installed the coilovers, but we worked from 6 to 11 Friday and I didn't want to mess with them that late. so I had to go back in to the front suspension the next morning. all in all pretty smooth for a salt attacked 4runner.
