    Man, that's gonna be sweet (not that it's not already).

    Hey, after you get all this goodness dialed in and you're maybe looking to dump your Pro setup, I may be interested.

    I'm just down the street too. Easy peasy :anonymous:

    Fronts all done with perfect alignment!!

    Here's some pics from the install and also some tips for @joonbug and anyone else looking at installing these themselves.

    From previous experience it's easier to unbolt the sway bar when the truck is on the ground before you lift it and disconnect the links. The ends of the sway bar need to be trimmed so it doesn't make contact with the lower shock. Seems overkill but these things are beefy and as soon as you throw them on you'll see exactly where it could cause some major damage if not.

    [​IMG]

    Then one of the bump stops on each side needs to be trimmed down

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]


    Once these were grinded down for more clearance we threw in the drivers side coilover. The first thing we noticed was the top collar was positioned in a way that the elbow that fed the resi was pointed towards the side of the upper arm which would cause clearance issues. Called up Joey and he mentioned that the collar could be spun around to reposition the elbow. This is way easier to do when the coilover is out so something to think about before you install. He also mentioned that the passenger and driver could be switched since these are fitting oriented. After looking at the two it was actually easier to install the passenger on the driver side. So big thanks to @olsin6 for the quick help!

    Once these were in place we found it easiest to bolt the bottom of the shock first and then jack up the LCA so the shock would move into place so we could screw in the top. These screw downwards into the top so this made it a lot easier than trying to hold up the shock.

    [​IMG]


    And BOOM! Oh yeah, go get yourself an 11mm hex socket for the sway bar link. They provide new bolts for the upper link and it's an 11mm, why 11mm? I have no clue since every kit I've seen only goes to 10mm lol.

    [​IMG]

    Cranked up the drivers side about 1/4" to account for the yota lean and it's almost sitting perfectly level. I'll probably adjust it again once the RXT springs and shocks go on.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    So far the ride quality up front is noticeably better! My rear still kinda bucks around from the AAL so that takes away from it a little. Can't wait to get the rears on!

    very nice. does the kit comes with different sway bar links ? even with Kings the sway bar end is really close from the shock body.
    I had a thread on it so I guess the Icons is even closer if you have to grind them.

    https://www.tundras.com/threads/front-sway-bar-end-links-and-king-coilovers.16785/

    MY guess is you can probably get rid of the sway bar seeing how your suspension is now able to handle pretty much everything.

    it's a tight fit. Did everything clear at full droop ? I bet it will ride amazing when the rear is on and you fine tune everything

    Yeah new sway bar links were included. They are lower profile I think to make more clearance with the bottom of the shock.

    Yeah it's super tight but we cycled the suspension as much as we could. Since most of the suspension moves together it stays clear but I can see why it has you grind down a few things lol

    Hey @boardude nice truck!! First one I’ve seen with 3.0’s
    Just wondering why you don’t run it without the front sway bar? When I removed mine I noticed an improved/smoother ride on and off road.

    Yeah I'll most likely rip it out here shortly. I tow and drive highways often which is why I think I've kept it on this long
