    Stock now, but planing on upgrading audio system, proguard rack, rear work lights and tow hitch.
    I installed 5100's all around with Toyotexh's Eibach Springs with driver's side 1/4 spacer. Tsb rear leafs done 2months ago. Rides very nice!

    I wanted the stock look with the 620# spring rate without lifting 3-4inches. New springs lifted front end about 2inches and should settle some.

    I plow with my double cab and picked up 15 additional accounts so I beefed up my suspension.

    1st pick was the before.

    To come:
    Backrack with 2 sets of leds, additional led set for reverse lights and strobe kit.

    Set to lowest setting "0". It should settle to 1.50inch lift.
    No way tires are gone. Getting winter set of Cooper M+S tires. Got great deal at local shop $600 OTD including 4wheel alignment.

    Yeah no kidding. I'll add a hayden trans cooler soon also. At least that's only $50.

    Tacoburrito, I'm running a Snow Dawg MD68 plow. 6'8" they have a 7'5" also. But I do residential driveways and the smaller setup is great. I purchased at Yankee Custom in Salem NH for $3600 OTD 3yrs ago.

    I have a homesteader 6'8" but I'd recommend the 7'4 if you find one. I was shocked on how well it did. Super light but with good tires and chipping away at the piles it was great.

    Not a great photo, but you can see how big the snowbanks were. I even had a blown out cutting edge. My advice is to take it slow. These trucks are lite so they get hung up coming back out of the bank in most cases. That was the only time I got stuck this year. I also ran two sand bags over the rear wells to help a bit. I'm hoping this year with Eibachs, and Duratracs I wont have to worry to much.

    By the way. Saw this on craigslist today. Might be worth a phone call. https://westernmass.craigslist.org/for/5259649842.html I paid about 1200 for mine with the tacoma mount, but I bought mine in May, and the guy was trading his truck in. That's still a good deal. I'd be willing to help you with install if you need it as well.
