    12×2.5 coilover. Would have liked to go with 14 or 16", but the owner is an expo fan, not looking for big numbers. just better handling.

    I got kinda a newbie and stupid question lol, I've been wondering this for awhile. How do you guys test the front compression/clearance without a forklift pushing the truck down? I've always wondered this lol, other than using multiple Jacks and jacking up each LCA at a time.

    Test clearance by depressurizing shocks and letting everything bump and droop out...? Is my guess...

    Does anyone make a fiberglass Tundra hood that isn't excessively louvered? Looking for basically a stock replacement... trying to keep it looking relatively stockish but my stock hood has some damage
