The only way I see rotating tires on a 4 post being worth it would be front to back. Even then you are going to be lifting at least one of the wheels off of the lift rolling it along the ground to the back and lifting it back up to the vehicle. Even using a two post to just rotate tires you...

I kept them separate for that reason!

Yeah traded the Audi for the 4Runner. It is a TRD Pro so it comes factory with the upgraded suspension. I had a little bit of sag with the rear of the Audi when I would pull the car trailer and that suspension was a lot stiffer than this so I figured the bags wouldn't hurt. Plus for $100 bucks...

Did some work in the garage last night!

I got the last three at my local store for myself and two buddies. Not bad for $75.

I feel as if those are scissors just because there are only two controls. Either way awesome work and interesting how the checker is on an angle.

I made the rear 4 link for the Auto Finesse show truck in UK! Small world!

I finally got the maxlite fixtures from LED Lighting Wholesale. Well, some of them. I ordered 12 at the end of December. Called a week later and was told they were back-ordered and wouldn't be available til January 22nd. Would have been nice if they told me that without having to call...
