    Sorry for the bad pics...it was almost dark...i'll have better ones tomorrow...

    So here's a few more from today. She seems to be keeping her height, but I obviously didn't use enough grease because she squeaks something fierce...

    No spacers. I had them put the struts together. Just the little trim piece on the driver side strut to keep things level...

    My buddy and I did it....the hard part is getting the bolts for the UCA's out. They put them in before they put the fenders on, so you have bend some metal to get them out and back in, then bend it back.

    oh ya...I had driven it maybe 15 miles to get the new tires put on then back home....it does look high in front. I have a real small amount of rake, but not much.

    Good luck with your truck....do you even want the old one back?

    I know that feeling, Before this truck I had a tsx that I crashed. They wouldn't total it but I wanted them to. I ended up trading it in for the tacoma.

    Ya right, it looks so different now, but it was 3 inches and one tire size up that did it.
