Nice looking Moj. That's the lift i went with (medium). I noticed after about 2 months that things settled out and i lost maybe a 1/2 inch lift, and also developed the stink bug stance. I also believe the ride got a little better and softer. I have the spacers for the front when i get the ARB to help get rid of the stink bug.

I had the hardest part getting those stupid little shock hoop things in the rear back correct.
 
MoJ,

No idea how much it affects the readings. The plastic ring that acts like a lock requires more force to turn, right? When you put a torque wrench on it, seems to me there is torque not accounted for in the factory settings required. I'd think the end result is a reduction in clamping force (since some of the torque you're reading is being used to attempt to overcome the added friction). I doubt I explained it very well or that it matters with the shock bushings.

merv,

Most, though not all, 80s here have that roof-rack. It was a port installed item (ie not from Toyota). It was a VERY POORLY thought out addition. You can do a search on the board here and see the problems we have with them (namely rust). I was very disappointed to see how cheaply they threw mine on when I looked at the attaching hardware. Someone should be held accountable somewhere (but that's for another thread).

I put the 1" rubber Mr. Gasket coil spacers on my '93 and it leveled it out nicely. The ride was good too. I'd do it again if I was doing it...

I'm hoping that I solved this attitude levelling . On the weekend , I'll be putting 850J/863 coils on (L-shocks around) , and it should sit level with my equipment (nothing :D ) . I just mention this here in case there are different coils that you can put up front , that might solve the attitude issue . I don't know all the tech stuff though .. better to call Slee if you plan to replace coils for your app . Way more involved ....

TY - :doh:
