    The longest part is waiting for the paint to dry if you go the route where you cut the washer. I'd say the rest takes about 20min.

    Has anyone ever changed the timing belt on a 3.4? I did one 4-5 years ago, my wifes 02 4-runner needs one really soon, I just don't have the motivation.

    I'm also thinking of changing my Bilstein 5100's from 1.75" to 2.5"

    This shouldn't be a problem there, should it?

    You'll need a spring compressor and also to have the alignment done afterward.

    No problem, Of course we will need to get our hands on a spring compressor. I know you can rent one from Napa in College Station for just a deposite.

    I'm going to do it as soon as it arrives, because I NEED to get new tires. I'm missing chunks of tire from one of the back wheels, and they are not holding consistent air pressure.

    But I think I'm going to order my toytec AAL and install it at the meetup.

    Drew, you have a 1/2" top plate spacer on your truck right? Did it effect the ride at all? Would you recomend doing that over going up to 2.5" on the struts? I still sit just about 1/2" higher in the rear & am considering a small spacer instead of adding more preload. Do you think that NTB would honor the 6 month warranty on my alignmet even if it was off because I took it apart to add a spacer? I bought redraiders old spacers so that I could measure & duplicate them in custom height's.

    I would definitely recommend it over adding more preload, but I don't really have anything to compare it to. The ride is good although I want to get the LR UCA to correct the caster/ camber.

    In your case I'd say leave it, because as soon as you put a load in the bed or hook up a trailer, it will make your truck lean back. It's up to you though.

    I am not worried about it squating under a load because I just bought (haven't installed yet) a set of firestone air bags from Silverbak.

    What caster / camber issues do you have. I guess it is safe to say that I will have the same problem, but would rather not replace my UCA's. Yet anyways.
