Insurance check recieved.
Finally got the estimate done after a kid swiped my 4Runner when it was parked in my driveway. Received ~$2300 for paint scraped badly on one door panel, bent running board ($840), slight paint scrapes on front door panel and rear panel above the wheel well .... plus he put in polish rear wheel, get an alignment.... I've already ordered White Knuckle sliders with the running-board money!

Installed 884 on my 5100 set at the lowest setting. It was set at 2.5 with my stock coils. Got another 1.5" of lift. Super happy with the finished product. I already had the 2" super flex coils in the rear.

He's going to overengineer them to be stronger than a NASA space craft

Yes but only to put the coil on the shock. I didn't have to use it to install the strut on the vehicle.

Those numbers look pretty good actually. The only confusing thing would be that your camber actually increased after the alignment for the right tire... Lol
But your toe is good and caster isn't really too important for our application, so you look good to go!
Keep a close eye on your tires for any abnormal wear though, sometimes it takes a few alignments to get it right, and when you're altering the suspension, whoever did your alignment might have done it to stock spec, not lifted spec.

Dropped my replacement Eibach's off at my powder coater of choice.
Going with a tribute to my grandparents with Alzheimer's, so I am having my icon springs and my eibach's powder coated dark purple.
Also ordered some custom decals from a dude on Tacomaworld, Cboy808, who does AWESOME custom work and has great turn around time. Going to tie in the random purple springs with the rest of the truck. Check out his website if you're in need of some decals: www.stickerHI.com

I need all of these.
The only issue I would ponder is the caster. ~3.5 would be a nice place for caster. I am surprised they couldn't get it any better.

There's no way they would be able to get caster above 3 with stock A arms and a lift while keeping camber angles in check?

What happened to the post from a little bit ago? I read it then it was gone.

It was wrong. I didn't see the first digits of the caster and I thought it was just like .9 and .1 or something and way low.
I don't think so, but I have seen some at 2.7-2.8 with the smaller lifts. Hers is quite low, I wonder if the tech was lazy or that was the best they could do?

It's firestone, definitely lazy techs.. I deal with it every time I go there and my alignment feels like poop. My caster is always at 1.5. I always try and tell the explicitly 3/0/0 but it NEVER is above 1.5. I live with it.
