Pulled the Trigger, FBSS Installed!
I finally decided to spend the weekend at my buddys garage and install my FBSS Airride, Hotchkis sway bars, Sustec brace, and TRD tower bar. Im trying to keep the install stealthy as possible so there are still couple items that need to be put in.
To ensure the 1/2 inch line would never be damaged, we decided to route the lines threw the step channels. The driver side comes out of the main grommet behind the gas pedal and the passenger one goes threw the ECU grommet. Both then go directly into the shock well. With wiper shrouds on you cant even see the lines
The rear setup was just to get it running. 5Gal pancake tank and another 380c pump on its way. Just need to figure out where to keep the spare....
Finished!
So far im very happy with the kit. Zero issues but its only day 2. Only pain was the sway links would not budge so we had to mangle them to get it on. Still up in the air doing Sienna shocks for the rear....

That's as low as it goes? Maybe just needs different picture angles.
I'm surprised they send out 1/2" air line. Stuff bends as well as a tree branch.
Install looks good, though! Regarding the spare... who needs it!? Throw it in the back seat when you go on long trips!

The 1/2" was a struggle. I thought about reducing it but its the default size for the kit. Im trying to get a Thule rack and basket then throw the spare in there. You never know.
My phone takes junk pics, maybe this will help. I also need new shoes and lower profile tires.... XD9s this spring!

Not too bad. Decently low. I think Easy Street made this kit setup so you could still run a 5Axis lip kit and not tear it off. Good idea, that's for sure.
XD9's are full of win!!! Any ideas on specs? I think aggressive!!! You could probably run 18x10 +20mm all the way around if you wanted to! Would just need to massage the fenders a little!

It'll be a bit. You could play it safe with the 18x9 +20mm.

Spent some time the other night and found the pictures of his setup. PMed him and he still has some of the pieces to put it together
I think im going to go with 18 x 9 +20. Seems like a safe bet without having to fight the fenders

With where the car sits, when aired down, the wheels will be poking a little. I'm running more aggressive than that and I'm fine. I think he's about an inch lower than I am. Run a 215/40R18 tire and you should be good.
