[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 262739, member: 1780"] I forgot the minor detail that the fj80 front axle has the factory e-locker and the switch or maybe some other component, does not work in order to be able to unlock or lock the front end manually. It is always locked. Haven't checked into why it won't work. With that being said, and Brock talking some sense into me about just how much the front end being locked ALL the time affects it even in 2wd. I will most likely try going to a different style locker like a full Detroit or something first before even touching the shocks. Then either tune the air shocks after the locker swap if it still has any roll, or find some used or maybe even brand new coilovers like the Kings I've already mentioned buying. That's just my theory. From the start of this thread, it took some thinking for me to realize the possibility of just how much the front end being locked all the time (with drive flanges too so no unlocking of one hub) affects the leaning. So in summary, my bet is after a locker swap and tuning the air shocks or even going to coilovers. Problem will be solved completely without the use of sway bars or other bandaid type problem solvers. ....then again, none of that could work and I could end up throwing away $1500 when it's all said and done with and still have an ole leaner rig. molaugh [/QUOTE]
