    Looks like Toytec Bilstein 5100s with spacer (to make up full 3" lift)? You should be able to re-use the top hat.

    If they are not in good shape, new ones are $24 each at RockAuto. Look for

    $29 SM5640 - Mount Kit
    SM5640.

    Still think the Baja kit is a poor value, because an Icon Stage 1 kit is less expensive.

    Yeah then I definitely have no vibes. I am pretty sure I just need to rebalance my tires. I took of a chunk of one of the front rings that are on my rims. Definitely enough to through off the balance. That is one nice part about the TRD Rims. I am going getting a replacement set of the rings at some point. They may not be a real bead lock but those rings definitely protect the rest of the rim.

    I am sure that's what it is. I just haven't worried about it. It is so subtle that I am not even convinced that is not my imagination.

    Are you sure you want to go with the OEM rings??????

    Why keep the stock crap??? I'm sure Procomp or Moto Metal makes something that has to be better than STOCK. Hell, throw some Momo's on that B and call it good...

    I'll be ordering this kit later, after I pay for the Baja Beadlock wheels

    Brandon, let me know how it rides.

    ^Will do

    the front shocks have a snap ring and 2 Grooves in the body of the shock. I guess these things are adjustable (2 different height settings)

    I noticed that Toytec sells remote reservoirs as an option with their kits and a 2" AAL. Are these not 5160s? I want to add a little (1") to the rear of mine. It sits too level for me. I loaded 500lbs at the rear of bed and it sat lower in rear whereas this would have just levelled my 2009. Originally I was thinking AAL but I want to stay within the safe limit of the shocks.

    What are do you mean? I don't want to swap out the whole rim. I like my rims.

    I am sure the rings can be replaced with aftermarket rings that will be stronger, lighter and less expensive than the OEM can offer.

    Haha, Probably! Honestly, I was hoping there was a different ring option out there. I wouldn't mind customizing my wheels a little bit.
