    Welded on my resi mounts today. Made sure it cleared the UCA and coils. I also bent the tabs to have more surface area to weld and it sucked it in to the frame a little more. Real happy with them.

    I'm still trying to figure out why my rear end is so harsh. So I took baseline photos to see if I hit anywhere.

    6cbe7ba2bed1c96e2c2b3a4a3f4491f8_d8fdc027d7b0c7d6a4a7072ec8145d5836587fd4.jpg

    Nothing out of the ordinary there. So I took the jack and jacked up one side of the axle to compress as far as I could before the other rear wheel came off the ground.

    1a8f04fcc720cc0f6e3e91fe337ffda4_ed4b0839c88e3b1eae0c6f2e6c10fe487b068ae9.jpg

    So with nothing touching I was a bit stumped. So I decided to remove the rear shock and cycle it off the vehicle in case any issues arose there.

    81ef74f07fe70eaa7e5ea91ee299fa56_9c6a05de223f0599685c217596b3d583a1299400.jpg

    Found my issue there. They're not charged anymore. So I'm going to take them to get rebuilt, revalved and inspected.

    Can't decide if I want to sell after rebuilding or just throw them back on.

    Extended measurement is 27", collapses is 17". I can easily buy a KING 2.5 smoothie with resi for $700 and match. So I may try to sell these.

    Bought these at a steal. 2.5 King w/resi 8" stroke. Going to buy the +1" rod end with the 3/4" heim end the 4Runner calls for.

    Well my king deal fell apart with the lower mount unable to be correct. So in my sadness i did a little retail therapy.

    I have these on the way. 10" 2.5 2 tube King Bypasses with remote resi.

    Cut out the old shock pocket and created a new one with the shock tower. Burned it all in after we checked droop and compression.
