    First thought is underside of bumper somewhere. Honestly, I have no idea haha. But, willing to get creative once I get my Pelfreybilt :bananadance: Maybe there's something that can be jerry-rigged without ruining the look.

    RC step bars. Clazzio seat covers. Bilstein 5100's front /rear 1" block rear, color matched grill surround, Tacoma all weather floor mats, Depo smoked taillights, bed mat, matte black bed decals, matte black badges.
    Well this last weekend I installed my 5100's, fixed my bedside, painted grill surround and changed Bed emblems. IT turned out pretty good I think.

    I take it you've never used a tailgate pad for tossing bikes over the tailgate. It'd be nice to have a quicker way, but it's really not that bad. I also just toss a 5 gallon bucket with a screw top lid in the back for trash. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Too few to list.
    Do the Sumo Springs rest on the bump stop perch? I wonder if they would be too short having a 1.5 to 2" lift.

    I still have factory springs. Mine sit on the perch. The sumo springs act like a bump stop but have some forgiveness.

    i think fedex forgot to put my mobtown skid on the truck today. Guy showed up and didn't have anything to deliver. I did get the tailgate storage lock though from a different fedex truck!

    So I get the sumosprings usefulness as a stand in for airbags for those who have stock suspension and tow and haul to prevent sagging. For people like me with a lift I wonder if the would act as extended bumpstops, anyone have these with dakar leafs?

    I would use them as extended bumps. With air bags you can control how much pressure for comfort and stability.
