    Some on TW Facebook are saying that the people what are hating on this kit are only doing so because, "they can't afford it" or that they are only talking s#it because "they are hiding behind a computer or phone".
    I believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion so lets hear them. So far the only people on the TW Facebook site who are butt hurt are the ones who like the kit. One guy went as far to say that people on FB talk more crap than the people on the TW.com site. Maybe true, maybe not. Lets see.

    More info about this kit can be seen here...

    Do I see front leaf springs?

    $3,200 and it doesn't include rear springs... I think it looks ridiculous personally. I like the look of a solid 3" lift.

    LOL....
    drop bracket lift.....check
    strut top spacers.....check
    body lift.......check

    $3200 for a bunch of spacers and drop brackets.... and still requires non-standard $800 leaf springs to complete the kit? No thanks. :laughing:

    Not really my cup of tea but I realize there are many that like the big lifted look and dont need the off road capability and just want the look. I think for these people its a pretty cool option. I would Imagine this would be a big hit for the show truck type of crowd.

    Lil too high for my taste on a Tacoma but the bulletproof lifts do look good on the Tundras.

    Same here. Truck looks good, but $3k for blocks in the rear and a strut spacer? Sounds like they are putting price in to the R&D of the kit.

    To each their own. I'd just want to see them run their bumpers at a legal height. Makes me think of my childhood neighbor who was broadsided in her car by a truck about this height. Instead of the truck's bumper striking the reinforced door area, it came through the driver's window and exploded her head into her daughter's lap...
