    Thanks! The front feels real good, no rubbing or to stiff, though i've only driven around town. The rear is REAL stiff, though. Not soft at all. When going over speed bumps, i thought my bed was going to come off. :D

    I had a real bad issue with vibrations BEFORE i got my lift done. It turned out to be the joints on the drive shaft and where the drive shaft meets the trans. Got new parts for that and it sorted it out. For a bit yesterday, it felt like i had some shimmying under accelatation, but i think it's my mind. Nothing that stands out as "this ain't right".

    Thanks. I had it installed at Higher Limits in The Woodlands, Texas. It was alligned by Firestone in The Woodlands too, all checking out. Those are Copper Discover 265/70/16. Looking to get some different tires though, to take up the gap and more aggressive or at least an all-terrain.

    My brother has a 2012 Tacoma that he built up. His name is Eric and you can find a build for his truck. Its a DC 4x4 with Mid-Travel Total Chaos and fiberglass fenders. I needed to at least get some height on him, though his truck is NICE. Nothing like ballin' on a budget.

    looking to replace shocks and add spacer lift...I do not off road at all just like the height of a lift
    awesome!!!!!!!!

    anyone know can you fit 285/70/17s under there with this lift...i do not want to cut or trim anything...i would be using stock sport rims...if I would need to cut/trim would wheel spacers get me the clearance away from the uca and the rest of the wheel well to avoid cut/trim?

    265/70r17 is a 32" tire if I'm not mistaking! You could always use the Tire Size Calculator up at the top of the page to verify that. And I have 32s but I still had to cut a little bit of my fender flare because it would rub when I was turned in reverse. I have the 5100s set at 2.5" too!
