    Lucky @empty_lord gets to lift a 22 tundra while I’m stuck lifting an 06 sienna! We’ll see how well the 30x10 BFG’s fit!

    So would you guys lift the rear or drop the front?

    Looks like you got plenty to go downwards in the front. Do you like how it rides right now?

    I know nothing about these shocks, but I'd take into account how it "feels" to you. If you like how it feels I'd probably raise the back, but then you'd have a lot of wheel well opening. Might be a big deal to you.

    Personally, I don't care how things look as long as they perform correctly, or how I want them to.

    I want to drop, LCA's way downward facing, dunno why accutune did this setup when they shipped it, but wary of the possibility of trashing these by adjusting while on the truck.

    Caved and ordered some spring compressors to help make it a little safer.

    I’d love it if someone gave it to me. But I’d never build that. 90” width is crazy to me, because it can *only* run in the desert. That is some awesomeness there, but would make it near’ impossible to do technical trail crawling. No problem, as long as I have another truck for that. But I wouldn’t want to forgo the rock crawling.
    I was fixin’ to answer up, then saw that Tundra2 said pretty much exactly what I’d have said. I do like rake more than squat, and I’d never prioritize “level” over “comfortable”. Function > form for me!

    I prefer rake, the q is how bad am I gonna f up trying to lower the front vs just admitting I'm inept and trying to raise the rear?

    I really just need a good local shop to help me, the guy who did the install was decent but got scared about lowering the front. Maybe if I bring him the compressor he'd reconsider but lack of confidence and lack of desire to buy tools kinda says something.

    Lower the front would be my pick. I would be concerned about limited down travel extended that far. Rough ride over bumps.

    It's night and day better than before with the 2.0's and no lift. Those things sucked. At least this one has tuned shocks and 550 lb springs. Feels like butter already.

    I'll see if I can get someone smarter than me to aid while we get it done together so I don't break something obvious.

    Do you have extended bump stops in the front?

    Yeah, 23" of wheel travel will do that to your track width.

    Which spring compressor did you order? Like give a link kthnx. If it's one of the cheaper ones that's meant for Macpherson struts, I'm telling you from experience they're sketchy to use and you shouldn't try it.

    Yeah sketchy one for sure but I gotta at least try to avoid a damn $600 bill on top of dropping $440 for the initial install.

    Is it just me or are other people barraged with camp lejune spam emails in addition to seeing tv ads?

    I block one sender and I’m getting it from other completely different email adresses.

    Maybe it’s the usps mail scam guy getting back at me for wasting his time. :rofl:
