Looks good.

Q for u... Were you able to screw the ring back on with the tires mounted? I've heard some have trouble remounting the rings with tires on... Keeping mine stock for now, but might play around with color if I don't have to take tires off...

Yes, not problem taking them off or putting on. I just went back on with thread lock...hope they will come off later... It was very easy so I may play with color when I need to touch them up next time.

It was perfect weather. Clear skies and 30 degrees. Not sure on snow amount but enough to ski all day.

Haha,yap, I'm from China. I have the v6 1GR 4.0, so the front weight is different from you guys, may also the back, that's probably why I feel bumpy. Thanks man

@Markuson, @TLD, China has the most interesting LC200 scene , especially with all the gzillion interior mods and gadgetry unheard and unseen in our part of the world [emoji1] ... I follow from time to time : 兰德酷路泽 - 丰田家族 - 越野e族论坛 and especially their expedition pictorial posts, which shows some very amazing landscapes. Happy exploring @TLD !

No doubt about that. The only reason I mention was because I wasn't sure what engine they offer in the LC marketed to China. Turns out it is different from US after all...which might change what he set his front BP-51s to during install due to smaller/lighter engine.

Usually the recommendations fron ARB/OME are for the AU spec diesel cruisers, ARB supplier here installed and measures the different kits on their own test vehicle before selling. Also US cruisers are lighter in the rear as they run with a single tank vs the dual tank system available in other countries. As the same springs are probably used I think there's probably enough info out there already and as the shocks are adjustable I'm sure everyone who installs them will be fine tuning them to their liking and don't need to stick to the recommended settings.

I attached a boat and pulled it out for the season.

How are your fogs so yellow again? Did use lamin-x?

 

[TJsTACOMA]

First thing I would do is open the KDSS valves 3 turns (not more!!!!).
Jump on the running board and make love to your truck, rocks it back and forth. Drive it 10 feet and repeat. That should neutralize the KDSS. Lock the valves and re measure.
If you are off take to the reseller ( don't remember who that was). OME makes strut spacers for just this purpose.
Since your drivers side is so wacked I'm thinking KDSS.
Talk to the experts. #sleeoffroad Christo and Amory and Kurt at #cruiseroutfitters.

So driving out of my garage and drive way then back in is ok to do with the valves open? My drive way is on a hill so maybe that will help even out my lean going out the back in.

 

[arich]

Tighten your KDSS on a flat surface. Do NOT use the KDSS to fix the cruiser rake! That's not what it was designed to do.

Thanks man, we do have all kinds of interior mods and crazy landscapes. I'm definitely happy with the exploring I've done so far! Happy with my rig and mods I've done. Hope you feel the same as I do!

Markuson, engine on our lc200 is either 4.0 v6 nor 4.6 v8. I did adjusted my BP-51 setting last Sunday right now my setting is c5 r6 all around, it's pretty good now, much better than pre-setting(c4r8 in front c4r7 in rear). Thanks you so much for the help!
