Great video(s). I started following along and catching up on all the videos as I just picked up a 97 SR5 project. Just curious (in your opinion as there and many on the web) after having the diff drop for a while now.. do you think it was worth it and did what it was supposed to do? Thanks for any input you might have.

Nice camera angles! Visualises nicely how it's done. How do those 883's ride? They are the heaviest spring for the 3rd gen with heavy bumpers, right? So they would have a lot of preload when on the shock, no? I'm looking for the smoothest off-road ride and can't really find comfort related reviews, it seems everyone is just concerned with lift.

The pan hard kit that you welded onto the rear for correcting the lift for the track bar - is this kit included with the Bilstein suspension lift or is this pan hard kit sold separately? If sold separately, could you please provide the link? Thanks!

The 5100 shocks you put on the rear state they are for a 0-2" lift. The 2890's provide a 2.5"-3" lift. Are there any real issues with using a longer coil on those shocks?
