    So I had a shop install my ome lift today and while driving around tonight I had a CEL come on. The lift was new front struts, AAL in the rear, BPV relocation bracket, and a diff drop. I'll go by autozone in the morning to have them read it. Any ideas what it could be or anything I could check in the mean time?

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Usually the only light that comes on is the ABS. I have seen (and caused) it from breaking a speed sensor wire/sensor.

    Yeah it's a pesky p0420 code. It's weird because I just cot both cats replaced and a new o2 sensor not even 200 miles ago. We are going to replace the A/F sensor now and see if that fixes it

    That's what I'm doing. It was a Toyota dealership because the truck was still under warranty. They are going to replace the A/F sensor to see if that fixes it.

    Lol... I deleted my prior 'cause I saw you found the fault.
    and the Toyota warranty seemingly covers that.
