Are you running the Radflo shocks and stock coils in the rear? Looks great.
hmmm does seem maybe a little low in front. What spring rate do you have 600 or 700lf/ft? shoud be written on the springs. like this
Yea it was low. The coils were installed as comes from the factory, with no adjustment. We adjusted the coils and now it is about 1/2 in lower in front. The measurements at rear is 23 inches and the front 22.5 inches(center of hub to fender lip) looks like it was actually lifted now.
The coils are 600lb/ft coils. Radflo rear shocks and OME rear coil (722).
Well didnt look that bad really anyway but will be look even better with level ride for sure. You might consider changing to 700s if you ever get a front bar but should be sweet with factory bumper. I went with 700s anyway and still havent installed a bar (been waiting to damage my stock bumper first but somehow can't manage to bust it 
. maybe I'll have to let the wife take it for a spin to hurry things along - God knows she can wreck anything!.)
Even with the 700s the ride is plush and handling firm with bugger-all face plant on heavy braking. Stock springs in back same as you.

Nice Aaron. Nice pics. You should do a story to go along and submit to Toyota Trails. You might be the first to have your truck in three issues in a row!

Love that tire size...wish I would have done 34s instead of 33s
Man...doesn't that rub when you get the 10" of travel in the front in low and off camber flex?
I'm guessing there's been liberal use of the old grinder trimming up inside the wheel wells - can see the cutting in the front and no front mud guard. What's the offset of the wheels and do you get any scuffing on the KDSS?
What is the tire size? Are where any scratches especially on KDSS cylinder/arm?
Wish to change my current 33.5" (305/55 R20) to smth bigger.

Offset on the Hutchinson Wheels is 28mm.
Drivers side tire does scuff the KDSS and yes we did quite a bit of trimming. Tires are 35's. Nitro Gear 4:30's. TJM rear locker.
Could you please describe what was trimmed? Does tire scuff cylinder or arm?
Back a few months ago I decided reluctantly to sell my built 100 and move on to a 200 if I could find exactly what I was looking for. That was a relatively low miles grey for less than $42k. Started looking and there was almost nothing in that category. Then right before I was heading out of town for 2 weeks, an 08 grey with 60k on the clock pops up about an hour from me for $43k. Called the guy, told him I was interested but wouldn't be able to do anything for a couple of weeks, fully expecting it to be gone. When I got back, it was gone from Autotrader, but I called him anyway. Turns out, he had two people planning to come down and buy it that evening for $38k... I took the rest of the day off, made the drive and bought it.
Here's what I got...
Of course I had to delete the running boards...
I'd always liked the Slee step sliders on my hundy, and of course needed to lift and get some tires. Went with the Ironman lift (about 4"), had to get the TC UCA's to get back into alignment, and put some 275-70-18 BFG AT's on it.
At this point I'm done I tell myself, and unfortunately my wife
The great guy that bought my 100 (and almost bought this truck had his wife liked it) turns me on to the front bumper deal of the century... an ARB Sahara Bar, new for $369 shipped. I just had to right? Of course the answer was yes, and if I did that, I had to get a Warn 9500 to fit into it right? Sure, why not.
Finished it all off with a National Luna portable dual battery system that I'll move back and forth between the 40 and 200 to power up the fridge... very nice system.
And now, I'm done... really honey in case you are reading this
In case any of you are contemplating the Ironman lift, I have front "B" springs I'll sell at a good price. These are the Med springs. Had to go to "C" with the bumper.

Really nice! How did you get the bumper for so cheap?
