Creating a list of things to do and an order to do them in. The very next thing ill do is lower ball joints (thanks for all the suggestions). On that note, I can find them (OEM parts) no problem I was just wondering if there is a good source for parts I might need to know about. I found my way to mcgeorgetoyota.com perhaps all sources are all the same or perhaps one is better. Let me know.
The next big purchase would be springs and shocks. I know this seams to be a subject that's beat to death but here we go again. I'm reading posts and i see numbers being mentioned ( 906, 891, 861,890 ). I'm trying to figure out what the numbers represent. Is it a load ratings, does it identify the amount of lift, or is it just a number the manufacturer use? I see people installing mixtures of Tundra parts or Land Cruiser parts and just trying to wrap my head around all of it. I'm sure a lot of what I'm reading it based on lifted applications and probably shouldn't concern me. But I'm learning. I'm currently running a stock height and don't necessarily have plans to lift it. However, if there is something I could buy that would give me the flexibility to lift in the future would be great.
If anyone has a basic explanation would be great or a good source I haven't come across yet.
I have KYB gas adjust under there now. I'm reading in many forums that KYB and Bilstein are solid options for stock ride height replacements. I'm new to the forum and was doing some poking around at vendors section and came across ironman 4x4 and their foam cell shocks. Looks like they may have a stock height replacement. I've also been flirting with the Eibach website. I'm never looking for the cheapest option nor the most expensive, usually just the best I can afford. If you have a brand of shock or spring that I should look at please let me know ill be more than happy to look into it.
I do a lot of driving so highway drivability plays the biggest role right now. I like a responsive feel. I drive on Cooper AT3's. I don't plan to tow however it might be a common thing to haul stuff in the back. I can see some more camping and off road driving in my future, or at least I hope. Thank in advance for the help.
