    Its only about 200 for two new spacers and rear 9000 shocks at 4wp prices. If I can get them at cost and not pay shipping? Going to look at this option first. Thanks guys!!

    I love the Tacoma, but if I had the DB gone and my MT setup, locker and ATRAC I would be so much happier. MP3 and BT would be nice also.

    No sarcasm intended - What is wrong with your truck ? Is there something you can't do with your truck that you can do with a 3" truck ? You will actually have less rear articulation when stepping down the leaf pack or getting a T4R.

    Test driving the 4runner just pushed me to the decision. Im not going with a runner, I want a newer Tacoma. I've just never been able to get over that giant Drop bracket and I don't want to lose money by trading it all in. I'm going to take what I've learned after buying this one and head the expo rig way.

    Who knows what kind of gem I will find and some of you may get the chance to upgrade off of me.

    Lower COG - simple math seems like if you lift your truck 6" and you add 35x12.5's and increase your track width by 6" then COG is neutral in relation to stock ?

    Hunk of metal protruding - My DB does not hang down lower than a truck with a 3" lift ? What hunk of metal are you referring to or are you just perpetuation DB myths ?

    Stabilizer bars - are not needed ( and not used on all kits ) once you add skids you can ditch them anyway. My crown clearance with a 6" DB lift is higher than a 3" lift.

    DB jokes - just morons anyway doesn't count. A DB is the only way to get over 3" with a 4wd.

    Did anyone see MWOAP's video a couple weeks ago, his crown clearance made the rock climb possible

    I'm not making fun of the DB by any means, I've owned and wheeled one for many years now. I just want a newer Tacoma with locker and ATRAC. This is what I want and if I have the ability to make it happen well I'm going to do so.

    How does a different brand of leaf springs affect your center of gravity ? Are you saying that you bought Expos so would would sit lower because they only provide 3" of lift ?

    When you custom order Deavers or Alcan's etc you can order them exactly how you want them and I would bet you would get more travel out of a different leaf pack too. Did you find someone to build shock hoops for you yet ?

    Bro lean = more caster...taint nothin wrong with that :D
