    Well, I installed them. They are not a perfect fit. Drivers/passenger side front needed the factory bracket bent ever so slight to fit.
    They do touch the front where n fabs curve in to the lower panel. Barely.
    15ft/lbs of torque seems weak, but I used loctite and my torque wrench.

    Looking good.

    I wonder what is the height from ground to the bottom of the step / under the step. To see how much clearance these is. Might help other members i guess.

    if you have 8.5inch with N-fabs that is a very good clearance for Limited / TRD Sport imo..:cheers:

    I will be lifting it soon. Probably going Eibach Pros, and remove the factory Limited system.. Not a high enough to warrant new UCA, just level and raise it a bit.

    Hope you have done your research. I've tried few but none good as XREAS on-road to my taste. Not even the crazy expensive ELKA 2.5DC where people say "Ride like Cadillac" / "Butter smooth" :D:D I have no experience with Eibach Pros, so can't say anything on that.

    I wish the manufacturer would post real specs of the hydraulic shocks. We all know what the springs are, but with hydraulics, what are the specs, rebound compression etc. Otherwise, its trial and error..
