    I will have to find a good level surface to put it on, my driveway is just a slope, and I also happened to be in the low part of Brian's driveway when I took the picture there.

    Take some before/after measurements. I never did before my first lift so I didn't this time either. I would just like to know how much it raises yours exactly. It seems near 4" for me, but it will settle over time.

    Can definitely keep my eyes peeled. It's pretty loud I'd think?

    It's louder than stock for sure. Has a nice tone to it. If the criminal is dumb enough, take note of the tag mount location. He has a reflector nut and regular nut holding the license plate on. That's unique. It was stolen from his barn which was locked and hidden from plain sight so the thief has to be somebody that knows him.

    I work out of town and the truck is at home. I will not be back till Saturday. I believe after researching today that they just added the 5100 billstin shocks. I know I spelled that wrong. lol there is a brass looking spacer on the top of the spring that has 3 letters stamped in it but I cant remember. I am hoping I can just lower the c clamp to adjust the height of the shock and that will get the camber back even. Did this help?

    The factory Trd shocks are bilstein. If there is a spacer on top, than you have a spacer lift, which is not adjustable. Its most people's first lift because it's the cheapest option.

    Factory bilstein shocks are yellow, and the aftermarket adjustable ones are chrome.

    Yes I can't wait to see some pics!!! What is your rear measurement now? I am at 21.5" from what I have read the average lift from dakars is 24.5/8.

    You can add your measurements here!

    If I remember correctly when I measured when I met back up with Justin in Arab, my rear fender is 41.5"ish off the ground, now that's not from the hub, but being a 32.7" tire...just do 41.5-(32.7/2)=25.15"

    Ay. Couldn't find this earlier for some reason. I go to school in north Georgia so I am usually on different threads. Got a few trips planned for Tenessee this summer, trying to hit AOP and Wind Rock offroad park. Have some buddies from GA tagging along. If anyone is interested or just wants to go on some smaller wheeling trips let me know. I'll be in Huntsville the early half of the summer
