i may need that sway bar drop. the 6112's are smooth, EXCEPT if there's a sudden drop, like a ditch and at really low speed, it's like the shocks have extremely high rebound and it jars the truck. Really strange.

so you did 6112s in front, which clip setting was it on? Im assuming the highest setting right? and then the 5100s in the back with an add a leaf. thats what im planning on doing. Curious, what tire size do you run? and which tires/wheels? whats the offset? do you rub at all?

You get a torque wrench into places like that using a, “crows foot” if you keep the torque wrench at 90 degrees to the foot you just set it for desired torque. If you wanna do it in a straight line you have to reduce the torque proportional to the new lever length to the old effective lever length. Bending the bodywork is hacky man, you can cut the bolt and replace it. I find it hard to believe Toyota bends the metal to do this work 🤔

Keep us posted - one of my bilsteins blew up in less than a year... And about JBA: The control arms themselves is nothing but a couple of welded pipes and plates. The only part that might require basic intelligence and quality control is the ball joint, and the damn thing failed in less than a year. Not extremes/off-roading. The reason is that this outfit get incompatible pieces from third parties - the boot doesn't seal at all because it's FOR A DIFFERENT BALL JOINT, for fuck's sake! They attempted to "fix" the issue by adding an aluminum bushing but it's like treating a corpse with aspirin. The joint is full of water/sand mixture, and, of course, their "warranty" doesn't cover a damn thing other than the pipes. In three words, IT'S A SCAM.
