    Super late to this, but then I'm a noobie.
    Any rubbing going on at all up front with that lift and those size tires?

    I'm running the same lift with 285/75-R16 K02's and my mileage shot down to the 15-16mpgs range. but then again I'm in California and everything is a damn incline here.

    I'd never even consider having a Toyota dealer install a rough country lift. I mean, I honestly wouldn't think they would do it

    My dealership said they would do the install but they wanted 4 hours shop time which seemed slow for doing 5100s only.
    The shop I went to did the job in 2.5 hours

    I tried to have the dealer install mine but in the instructions it says it has to cut off a piece of the cross member so they didn't want to touch it. Had another shop do it for $260.

    EDIT: not 100% sure it was the cross member, but it said it has to cut something.

    Yeah every Rough Country lift I've dealt with involved cutting the cross member.

    My last rough country install was on a 1500 ram. I believe it was around an 8"lift. Half way through the install I was so unimpressed and disappointed with the quality of the RC components that I sold the truck after I put the lift on. I never even bought tires for it

    I'm getting 17-18 MPG on my 3 inch lift with 33s BFG KO2

    And my speedo/odo has not been calibrated for the bigger tires, and my transmission needs the TSB done because it's constantly looking for gears
