    Some picks before and after. First is sitting before install. Second is front done with a slight bro lean, and the last is complete. I went with the toytech adjustable shackles on the second setting in the back since my leafs already and an add in them. About an inch higher in the front and 1.5-2 in the back from previous. Rides so much better though.

    A few more mods but same 5100's w/ 620lb Eibach coil. 5100's in the rear and a 1.5@ ToyTec AAL. But the AAL is getting old. I found a wheelers 1.5" leaf pack for $149 I think it was. An aftermarket leaf pack is way better than an OEM w/ an AAL. Need to get a better side shot. Sold my Bilstein / Eibach set up. Sold the fronts w/ the coils for $250 and $100 for the rear 5100's. Then bought Icon front & back. Kept the Camburg UCA's and the band aid 1.5" AAL. LOL! I'm installing an aftermarket rear brake line tomorrow since I installed the front aftermarket brake lines when I did the Tundra upgrade. I did not know that 1st gen Tacomas, not sure what year to what year only have one rear break line unlike 2nd gens that have 2 lines. I know 1st gens are 95.5 - 04. Just wasn't aware of only one rear brake line.

    Nice, did not know it was an option to get it without the pod cutouts. No love for my year though :pout:

    Yeah. Funny thing is it's the same price cut outs or not. The only rise in price is if you choose to purchase pods through them. I have pods mounted below my front TG bumper.
