Do it!!!
I run -1* camber otherwise I wear the shit out of the outer edge of tire.
If I pick up a set of used lowers of Craigslist I’ll do that to them. New bushings and lbj for the 4runner. That will help with the move to 35’s or close to 35’s. Running 255 80 17 now with no issues. They will well for my use and the terrain around here.

Imagine my surprise when this package arrived today. Did you have to dawn scuba gear to get it done and shipped out?

Seriously brother with what you guys are going through I totally wrote this off as a loss and no complaints about it. I figured I would order another one when you got back up and running. Thank you again and hope that you, your family and your community are doing well. image.jpg

Got the cam tabs off and was able to save them. Took some measurements and got to use some markers. Th blue shading is what has to be opened up to get the driver tire pulled in so as not thinned at -1.5 camber. Fuck me. All of this work for 1*. IMG_7115.jpeg

Probably be easier to get the frame straightened
I took it and there was way too much to do to get it all done. When the front end was fixed before I got it they did a few things wrong. Toyota frame pulls have to be done cold. The previous owner heated it up. Probably looking at around 3k. Even then I would have to sign waivers.

So the new tabs are on and the fix worked out great. Home alignment went well. Maff is hard and speiling isn’t esay ether. Best I could get before the fix was -1.5 camber with the adjustment maxed out. Now I have -.5 with the adjustment almost at neutral.

You can never have enough jacks.

Hey Danny do you remember who you spoke with when you had your ADS shocks built? I am having the Icons built by a guy that used to work there but started his own shock and suspension shop. He is going to tune them for the added weight. I was telling him that you had ADS build a set and tuned for extra weight and you were really happy with them.

Let me dig and see if I wrote down a name because I honestly can't remember.

I didn't write shit down. I wanna say it started with a J but I've burned a lot of brain cells between then and now so no goddamn idea.
Thanks for checking. He is going to tune them up for the extra weight so I am looking forward to it. I am looking at $900 for the 4 shocks getting rebuilt with 700 coils.

That doesn't sound too bad since it includes the coils and tune.

Yeah I am happy with it. He also had to order $180 for the lowers on the ones I bought from you. Those lowers won’t work on the 4runner. They only work on the Tacoma. I came close to going full ADS but the ecomony is not great for selling on Craigslist.

Lowers? Like the misalignment spacers? Those were 4runner specific shocks when I bought them.

Who's doing them for ya? I'm trying to find someone local to do my Kings since ADS only rebuilds theirs now. I had Karl from ADS do them a few years back, but he's gone now. Really wish I took him up on trading my Kings in for ADS, offered me a smoking deal and like the idiot I am I declined
