    Anyone currently running them? How are you liking it? And what is your set up like?

    Looking to upgrade my 18 Pro in the near future. Not going to be doing a lot of off roading, some light trails here and there. Mostly a pavement queen.

    I got the rear done today. Unfortunately I didn't take any pics as I installed. It was hot and humid and I just wanted to be done. Doing the front tomorrow, I will try and take pics.

    @Crikeymike any suggestions or pictures of the best place to mount the front reservoir and hose routing? I'm not finding any pics for Tacoma's

    You can use the Hilux info. Not sure if this comes with the papers with those struts. And the red coil photo is on a tacoma, mounted a little different. Resi needs to be forward on both sides to keep clear of everything.

    Thanks @Crikeymike the Hilux method will work out. Just need to mout the front reservoirs and check ride height.

    Here is a what I ended up with for the front. I need to wrap something around the hose where it contacts the shock tower still.

    Also what gorilla tightened up the jam nut? Had to put the spanner wrench in a pipe to break it free. But once I got that looses adjusting ride height was pretty simple.

    It's a double lock nut on the struts. The lower comes off the top one pretty easily normally, then you set the height from the top.

    Yes, it took a pipe on the spanner just to loosen the bottom nut from the top nut. So my advice is to loosen the jam nut while off the vehicle. That would also have made it easier.

    Pro tip using some WD-40 on the threads and where the top nut contacts the lower spring retainer makes it easier to adust the nut.

    So far I'm satisfied. I need an alignment so I didn't drive much, but night and day over the stock suspension on the busted up roads where I live. We'll be loading it up next weekend for a short camping trip looking forward to it.

    I just got these photos from another Tacoma owner who mounted the rears recently.

    I'm at about 1-1/2" over stock with my RTT on which is all I really wanted. Also I will not get advertised lift since I have hammer hangers in the rear with the longer 4.5" shackle which will lower it some.

    Thanks for the pictures! I'll be installing these later this month. Do you happen to have any pictures of the Driver side with the tire off? I'd also like to see pictures of the front with tire on if you have them too. :thumbsup:

    Have you started playing with the adjustments yet? Please, if you get around to it, share your settings as a baseline. :hattip:
