Big Time!
So now its time for some fun and hard work! I'm still missing a couple of nuts ha ha ha and need to clean up a shackle bolt so I can get a nut on there and I'll be ready to torque them down.
So here is a before and the measurements.
I had very little up travel. and my shocks were limiting me as they were for a 4 inch lift and I had just 2 inch shackles.
Now the after!
So much more travel and super flexy. Shackle angles are great too! Caster improved with the front as I went to stock shackles and kept the 1 inch longer confers out rear. I like the stance.
And now my family and support staff.
Total lift up front is 3 1/2 over stock and rear is 4 1/2. Super happy!

Looks good. Thought maybe they would give you more lift but nicer to have good shackle angle

The height is perfect for what I want and they work great with my tire choice.
Looks great and it seems the crew looks happy too! Enjoy it!
Looks great , sure wish Toyo would make those tires in a Q78 tall n skinny...
