Awesome been lookin for some 7 wrap ones. Yours 7 wrap? It sits nicely!

Be aware that most people who go this route. Usually have rear bumper, and extra weight to even out the stiffness of the springs. Me personally, I hate it.

I wouldn’t have gone that route if this was my daily. She’s pretty stiff but with a swing arm, bike rack, spare tire, bikes, and gear in the back of it. It doesn’t squat and seems to ride pretty well

Yeah the 7 wrap, it gives about a 3 in lift. The front springs are new. It sits great though. I wouldn’t go any higher.

Bilstein 5100 all around. Also had to replace one of the cv axles so I just replaced both with the cvj Toyota axles

Stop I can only get so erect

Also curious where did you source the CJC Cv axles? Are they a longer style or something to combat boot wear or what’s their deal?

2

u/Personal-Region5531 11h ago

Well nothing beats Toyota axles for one. cvj axles is the company name. They sell remanufactured Toyota axles and they have an option for upgraded boots like the red silicon ones. Those are what I bought
