    Hey guys, I've been dying to make a first post so here it goes: I bought my 05 trd off road access cab back in june with 88k miles and I absolutely love it. A big step up from my old silverado. So far I have a 50 series muffler, a pioneer double din headunit, a polk mm10 powered by a 500 watt alpine amp, and a plasti-dip job. The next thing I really want to do is level it or get a 3inch spacer in the front with a block in the rear. I know I could get the lift relatively cheap, but getting new wheels and tires is going to hurt my pocket as a college student. Any ideas for me? I didn't really want to go to 33's because I'm loving the gas mileage.
    Here's the truck as it sits now: [​IMG]

    Welcome to TW. It looks good to me as is. Maybe some weathertech floor mats? I love mine.

    Thanks man, I'll check them out. I'm thinking about a tri-fold bed cover as well

    First of all welcome
    but also dont do a spacer lift... Do bilstein 5100's. Just use the search function and type "bilstein 5100" and you get 100s of threads for more information

    Nice Looking truck! In my opinion (and what im doing to mine), maybe look for an ARB style bumper, or get a custom one built for a lot cheaper. It would be sick on there.

    I don't plan on doing any offroading, especially when I still owe so much on the truck haha. I thought I read somewhere that the spacers were ok as long as I didn't hit any bumps to hyperextend the shocks?

    And I'm definitely getting a bumper like that, they look sick. I have to do a lot of saving though lol

    They will be alright but there is a night and day difference in ride quality between 5100's (or most suspension lifts) and Spacers. There are guys on here that run spacers and they work just fine for them but for not much more you can go with 5100s and your ride quality will be a lot better.
