    Hey guys I bought the ome lift for my 2002 tacoma about 8 months ago I think and have had some front end noise right from the get go. I got it from toytech. I got the 881 coils with top plates and trim packer and full dakar leafs dor the rear. The front coil/strut assembly was a paaaain to get back in. It took a lot of prying to get everything to line back up. I ended up putting the front riff drop in because the cv joints looked pretty stressed. It wppears the front didnt settle any at all but the rear did. My boots finally tore last week on the boot closest to the wheels on both sides. The mechanic replaced them for me for $390 incliding parts with a lifetime warranty but said that I would be hving them replaced again because the cvs are at too kuh of wn angle. He said that the passenger side cv joints were wctually binding up when the suspension drooped out. Is thi nor al? What seems to be the problem? What cqn I do to fix this short of taking the lift off and without spending a load of money. Thanks guys

    Yeah I figured that would help some. Should drop the lift down 1/2"..I guess I was just expecting a trouble free lift with ome stuff
