    They're perfect for what I needed which was to pull my tire away from my UCA. They're are just thick enough to be taller than the stock studs, but not so thick they they make you feel like they shouldn't be safe.

    Hmm, I never read that anywhere when I was doing all my research on them. I know if you use some small ones (1/4") like Nathan mentioned you need to run longer studs but that's it.

    Also did you see this, https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/toytec-group-buy.379106/ , might be something for your friend to look into.

    I kept my bump stops on while I ran the same setup, never had any issue bottoming out the shock. If for any reason you do, it'd be easy just to weld in a riser for the OEM bump stops.

    New bout 90, rebuilt one was 70 after tax. By the time and money I would have spent rebuilding old one it was only $20 more to get new one and a lot less time lol.

    Looks like I might have a devil horns front emblem for sale. Bought them before I got on the plane so I didn't miss out. Didn't realize that they won't fit my grill. If I can modify to fit I will keep it. If not I will sell. It was taken off of a 2008.

    2011+ Tacoma (emblem width: 6.30 inches)
    2005-2010 Tacoma (emblem width: 5.51 inches)
    2001-2004 Tacoma (emblem width: 4.45 inches)
    1995-2000 Tacoma (emblem width: 4.29 inches)
