Thumbs up Another ToyTec satisfied customer

Just finished installing my ToyTec FJ3-FRCC suspension. It turned out fantastic. I got four inches in the front and about two and a half in the back. The FJ now sits level and rides beyond perfect. I can't say enough good things about this ride. It now sits and rides the way it should have from the factory. Let's see if I can add a few of the pics I took.

Rear Driver's side before:

Rear Driver's side after:

Both sides have the same measurements, within 1/4 inch. Could have been a pebble on the ground.
I set up the struts before hand, and the whole lift took me and a buddy 2 and 1/2 hours to complete.

Try uploading your pictures to a site like Photobucket.com, then copy and paste the image code from there.

I'll play with the pics and see if I can get them to work, Otherwise I'll just adjust the size and attach as thumbnails.

I resized and attached the thumbnails. I used the ToyTec FJ3-FRCC kit with the 884 fronts and the ToyTec custom springs for the back. I utilized a set of TRD Bilsteins off a 2006 Tacoma or the front and the EMU shocks for the rear. Everything came out perfect. Again, sorry for the picture mixup. One of these days I'll figure out how to post a pic directly in the thread, maybe after I fix the gremlins some dinner.
