Check out my build thread, it may not be what you want your rig to look like. But the point is look how I've set my goals out, I made list and crossed them off as I progress.

If they are bad the truck will bounce up and down and up and down and up and down after a speed bump or most any bump. At 80 k you should have enough life left in them.
On the shocks, if you step on the bumper, bounce yourself a couple times and jump off, the truck should have no more than 3 rebounds. If there are more than 3, then they are getting weak. Odds are they are still good. I would estimate in the 150K range.

And yea ill look at ur build thread rn
Why does it matter? A post like that makes it sound like you want to escalate things. I would recommend against that.

I didn't get to finish what I was thinking in my second to last post. Check it out see how I've set my goals then do the same for your truck. Its easier to modify a truck if you have an idea on how you want it to turn out and what you want on it.

Perhaps he wanted to see if there was a fellow LC enthusiast nearby for advice. Lets not jump to aggression.
See, that's Dad trying to JUSTIFY to Mom that it NEEDS something so YOU BOTH can have more stuff to play with..... If he was to just buy it without justification, then that's wasting money....

give your dad this helping hand.
Let him know that Old Man Emu shocks are about the same cost as toyota stock shocks. Then all you really have to justify are the springs.

Well heres the thing. My dad loves wheeling but he buys a land cruiser and a tacoma and never does anything with it besides driving it to work.....
Was your Dad trying to sell this truck last year, because I've seen it for sale online? Can't miss that thing...
