Preloading them too much makes it ride really stiff i made that mistake when first installing them it looked sick but they were definitely over extended so I lowered it a bit and man it made a huge difference it floats over everything great video bro

[@eluv201]

Ya, it’s not as smooth as I would love it to be. Pushing the castor forward enough where my 35’s are not hitting the cab mounts also affected my ride quality

[@chrisking6695]

@@eluv201 interested that you had to do that despite the CMR.

[@71tattooguy]

All installed brother!! What’s your measurements of threads showing I’m at an inch with 700lb coils with front bumper and winch

[@eluv201]

Sweet bro. If you ever want me to answer back sooner hit me up on Instagram yotaking_pnw 1 1/4” Driverside 1 1/8” passenger side. Went a little extra on the driver side for the Taco lean.

[@LyNguyen-cr9ex]

What's tool did you use to turn the collar? My Fox spanner wrench is pretty useless.

[@eluv201]

It’s a tool that King Shocks throws in for free. It’s a coilover adjuster. I believe Filthy Mororsports sells their own with a t-handle. Part # 25308-100 but don’t quote me on that

[@chrisking6695]

You should have opted for heavier springs to get the lift or maybe longer ones.

[@eluv201]

According to all the mods I had added up the medium springs were the best option for ride quality, and for what I needed to use it for. It’s still a bit stiff but with bumper and winch it’s a bit on the heavy side

[@rcgenius7487]

I would think losing the nut for the hose would make the oil in the shock start leaking

[@eluv201]

It’s possible, but you don’t want to loosen it all the way just enough to have it move. You still want it really tight. I messed up the second shock and had smidget come out on me. I got to confident but no harm.

[@bennyhill3642]

That is very dangerous stuff there.. high pressure fluids can be Very Bad!

[@jeremiahromero3059]

What tool did you use to adjust the shock?

[@eluv201]

It’s a tool that King shocks throws in for free. It’s a coil over adjuster I believe filthy motorsports, sell their on with Part number 25308-100 but don’t quote me on that.

[@cyrusjay5034]

How's the ride? Does it feel stiffer?

[@eluv201]

Well not necessarily do to the ride height but do to the fact I had to shift my caster way foward to prevent rubbing on my cab mounts it is a bit stiffer. If you’re running 35’s it’s way harder to get a smooth ride without compromising.

[@CameronBigley]

So how many threads need to be shown to get a 2.5 in lift ?

[@eluv201]

11 passenger and 12 for driver for that Tacoma lean I explained in the video.
