Cool, let me know what the numbers are. I have the bp-51 with 2722 rear springs and now that I’ve played with the suspension so much recently after hating it, I found a pretty happy setting. However, I’m still going to swap it out next year and get the MRR “MRA” for the ease of adjusting and maybe to an ICON rear progressive spring.Previously, it was on 275/70/18 with stock suspension and tundra spacers up front. It never aligned well, and drives more straight now, likely due in large part to the aftermarket UCAs allowing for lots of adjustment to make it right. Short answer--it rides better than stock. I also went to a 17" wheel with and more rubber, which probably doesn't hurt. Acceleration is unchanged. Average mileage is TBD until I get more miles with it. My guy installed it in "comfort" setting, but I need to get with him to see what number in the dial it's set at to have a reference point. I did the heaver 250lb springs up front in anticipation of a future bumper, and it does not ride bad at all. I did a progressive rear with no extra weight, but would change if I went with a rear bumper.
What I need to figure out is if a 285/75/17 will fit in the factory spare spot, even only if aired down. If not, the timeline for a rear bumper may accelerate.
I half-assed a lift on a 4Runner in the past and didn't get UCAs, etc. As the 200 is a significantly larger investment, I was okay spending the money when the guys at Dobinsons recommended to have it, even if just in case. Buy once, cry once, and get it right the first time. I'm so happy with the outcome, I don't care if I got swindled out of a few hundred dollars
Pretty sure it's a 105. Which... will be legal to import here in a few months. I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of those here in a while.

You're right. Thought it was a very early 200 in front and I was distracted by the taillights.

Now this person wished they installed a snorkel. You just never know when you might need one.
On the way down to Lake Como, Co. Was super foggy at some points.
Rain and cloud in Ouray.
See if this posts.
Are these factory height or do they all have a lift on them? They all seem tall to me, maybe it's just camera angle?
Your front end looks a little high. For my Dobinson’s lift I waited to see if it would settle (it didn’t) then added a 30mm rear spring spacer to level it out. Now it’s perfect - if anything a slight hint of rake which I think improved steering feel.
Did Alpine Loop today with the wife and kids. I think we can officially consider ourselves a Land Cruiser family.
Also, I crossed paths with what I can only assume are a couple of magnificent mudders… a Black ‘18+ with a rooftop tent and a Burgundy ‘18+ with a rear Dissent bumper and 3 jerry cans.
