[MORT-RUNNER]

so did you install your kit today?

No!...because the "U" bolts were too small. I gotta get wider ones. I was all pissed! :motz: I was gonna go ahead and install the front only...but decided I didn't want look lower in the front and higher in the back.

did the guys at the auto store know which bolts would fit your truck perfectly? like did they have an application guide? if size is an issue you should just get them custom made at the U-bolt shop by the airport. they make it custom fit for your blocks so fast

Yeah! He had mentioned that. 4 Wheel Parts in Waipahu has them too. Gonna go pick them up tomorrow. I wanna get rid of that space in the rear tire well. I HATE IT!!! :biggrin:

Also I just got an email response from SOS...they said they don't include front bump stops in the kit. They only include bump stops for the rear.

I thought that was kinda weird?

Yeah! Everyone that I talked to says that they got front bump stops in the kit. Even Eurosport says that they get them in the kits that they sell.

Here is the email I got...



Hi, the x-runner kit comes with rear bump stops only. They are $15 ea +5 for UPS.

Thanks, Tom

What I wrote:

I purchased the SOS drop for my X-Runner about a month ago. While preparing to install it, I lost a bump stop for the front. Do you sell those individually? If you do...how much are they?

Of course what I wrote wasn't true...but I wanted an answer so I wrote what I did. I just find it weird that they tell me that.

Is it easy to install the bump stops after you install the drop?

The front bump stops are so low already I do not know what you would get to make it much lower. You might not get enuff "stop" out of a lower then stock bumper. I rarely contact the front stops and I live in PA and we have some really crappy back roads. I wish I could say the same for the rear. My stops are less then an inch high and I still hit over bridge expansions.

My SOS kit ONLY came with rear stoppers and that is all SOS shows in thier pictures.

Thanks for all the info guys! I am gonna just go ahead and do the install. I just need to go get wider "U" bolts.

The SOS kit is the ideal drop for me especially with 20's but in looking at the pictures posted, I certainly don't see $500 worth of stuff. :dontknow:

....which is why c2c came out with a better ridding drop for 150 :rock:

I just ordered my SOS front kit. Too bad I don't have my truck back. But when I do, I got all kinds of accessories to install.:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: I think I'll do it @ work, then all I gotta do is drive it onto the alignment rack and align it myself. LOL
