You've got taller wood! On your Land Cruiser. How much you think the front will come up with the extended shackles? And if you don't have castor (caster?) shims installed, you might need em after the extended shackles? Ah hell, put some bags of cement back there! After my install and the onset of a rough ride, told the Wife: "ahh just keep the gas tank full. She'll ride better." she got tired of topping off every other day! Kidding.
Lookin good! You'll get her figured out soon enough!

Thanks Danny :):)
I think with the extended shackles up front, I'll get just about 2" of extra lift. Not really sure about caster shims? And the finished picture is when the LC has about 350lbs of rocks and another 50lbs of tools and random s*** in the back and it's still super high back there. While I was driving home, it felt like I was gonna slide out of my seat haha.
 
If you're going to sleep back there, put your head to the tailgate! PM replied to!

Patrick,
As discussed, here is a pic of the caster shims I used in the front. This pic is taken from the front bumper rearward. The aluminum colored wedge is what I am speaking of. The thick side is oriented rearward, as I have a shackle reversal. If you don't and run extended shackles, the thick part would be facing frontward. HTH. Sorry it took a few days, and for the crappy iPad pic!
