How can I get a sticker from ya? Waiting to get my truck back from body shop and that would be a nice welcome back sticker

 

Just PM me same goes for anyone else that wants one!

Got a rack. I'd love to get a RTT someday myself. it will look awesome once it's done.

Finally got the rig washed and waxed for the winter yesterday, I can't believe there is already snow falling! I took my dog to the park nearby to let her chase some squirrels so I figured I would snap a couple of pictures.








Co-piloting...

 

Nice. Haha I think I saw your light bar for sale on Craigslist

 

Ordering my lift tomorrow , question did you guy install the diff drop kit, I plan on lifting my truck 2 inches.

 

From everything I have read, the diff drop is not needed. There have been quite a few threads on here saying it does more harm than good.

 

Thanks! You definitely did see it on there, I'll make you a heck of deal on it

 

This. Skip the diff drop.

 

One last question, will the Bilstein shock set at 2, Eibach coil and 2 inch AAL get me a level 2 inch lift with the 1/4 inch drivers side spacer.

 

When I lifted my truck, I did 3" in front and 4" in back. I wanted to keep the rake it had when stock....the back is 1" higher. I did not want it level.

If you do 2" front and 2" in back.....you probably will attain the same look. You'll have to lift the front an inch higher to have it level.

As far as the diff drop goes. I did not install one initially to see if I would even need it due to vibrations. I ended having that issue so I ordered a kit through Chi-Town 4x4 (like 20 bucks or so). It literally took me 5 minutes to put in. Its 2 bolts. It took care of my problem so I have to say it works. Id just wait to see how it drives once it is lifted and take it from there.

The drivers side lean spacer is another thing not everyone needs from what I researched. Ive had 3 lifted Tacomas and only needed it on the one I have now. I would gamble that you probably will need it and just put it on in the lift install. Oh yeah, I also have the same coilovers you are getting. I had mine pre assembled which come from Toytech set at 3".

If you are set at 2" in front. Get a 1" AAL for the back and that will get you level.

 

I have my diff drop that came with the kit (no option to remove it). So if you want it, let me know. Brand new never installed.

 

Did you install the lift yourself ? What do you think about using the blocks.

 

I did not install it. A buddy of mine that is a mechanic did it. I helped a little though. I've used AAL's twice and thought they worked just fine. I would've used them again but I went with a Dakar leaf pack this time around. I've heard no good things about blocks. I personally would not use them.
