The far right is even easier...no need to lock up. The left lines are the wacked ones now (if going up). No line offers the wheel lift fun of the center one though.
While we're all being objective about 100-Series suspension systems and sub-systemsjust thought I'd bring this to your collective attention.
The current (July/August 2010) issue of 4WD Toyota Owner has a must read for anyone wanting to know all about the physics at play on all things suspension: "The Ultimate Suspension 411".
Don't snooze on picking this issue up...you'll thank me later
Spress, I have to say... I tried reading that article..... I guess, I don't know my AS from a hole in the ground! I got more lost than trying to wheel around the back "woods" of Reno!
Ya...my rears are close to needing replacement. The squealing like that drives me nuts.
Be careful what you wish for...

Sorry for bringing back an old thread...
Shocks are leaking after them getting blown out today! Should I be the guinea pig and try these pro comp shocks? Or should I just go OME and be sure?
Be sure of what?
No picture but my OME's leaked. At first I thought my diffs were leaking through the axle seals, but then realized it was the shock. It was only one of the four shocks each time it happened, but it caused me to replace all four twice. I think mine failed from high heat created on trips to Saline/Death Valley/Baja wash board (just my theory). If you can avoid washboard roads then OEM or OME should work just fine.
Quality of OME vs. pro comp?
Do a search on OME leaking...you are not alone.
I wanted those too! But they cost so much $$$$$$!
Bilsteins are cheap... Go for the Kings

Im not trying to go broke! LOL maybe I will be able to afford them someday!
One thing guys should try is just getting the Kings without the remote res. The 2" smooth body shock is $235 each, and the 2.5" smooth body is $299 and could be bought probably a little cheaper from a dealer. Ask Carl at JT's and he could order them for you. You can also get them custom valved. They already make the 2.5" remote res kits for us 100's so just it will be easy for them just to eliminate the reservoir. They make everything to order anyway.
Just a thought, and I think a good alternative for a kick ass shock. Totally rebuild-able, and the last shock you will ever buy.

I'll also be stocking 1 or 2 full set of the Kings for quicker turnaround. King builds to order so turnaround can be 1-3 weeks or more.
