Progress slowed down for about a week. We had a massive forest fire close to where we live and spent 5 days preparing to evacuate. Had to load up my LX and get it ready to go when we were told to get out.

That was lifted Thursday evening, so I got a few things done on the truck.
Played with front ride height and settled at 21.5” which leaves the front with 3.25” of droop with the extended icon shocks.
In the rear, the slee springs were too short for extended travel shocks. They literally fell out when I put the truck on jack stands. So I swapped those for a pair of tourflex tapered wire 3” heavy springs. Night and day difference in ride quality and stability. I now have tapered wire dual rate springs on all of my trucks, and wouldn't have it any other way. The rear measures 23.75" empty and 23" with 400lbs in the back. Plan is to cut the top coil, which will lower the rear down to just over 23" empty and about 1/2" of rake when loaded for fun.
Took it into Findlay toyota for an alignment this morning, the tech spent over an hour dialing it in where I wanted it. End result - it drives great! This dealership did all of the service on this truck since they opened in 2008, they were happy to see it in the current form.

Left enough room in the camber where I can raise it 1/4" without making a meaningful difference. Might do that later on, probably wont.
