    Hello folks, recently moved here to Raleigh area and great to see so many folks from around here. I am planning a trip this December and learned that my stock suspension would not support an RTT. So, I am planning a suspension upgrade on my 2003 Tacoma. I don't have a garage and have not done this scale of a project before. Although, I can overcome both of those to certain extent (can do it in empty space next to our place and get some knowledge from internet/forums), I don't have any time for any errors. I would like to see if I can get some help from fellow members here. So, here are my options:

    1. Do it myself with limited means
    2. Do it with the help of a fellow member (I can compensate in a means of your choice)
    3. Pay a fellow member
    4. Pay a shop (last resort)

    I really appreciate your feedback.
    heletO.

    where are you located and how far you willing to travel ?

    are you wanting too add a leaf or swap leaf packs ?
    where has your truck lived the last 13 years ? north south ? rust belt ?

    i'm in Johnston county 12 miles east of Clayton, i don't have pristine working conditions but i've don't what you want done twice this last summer. once on my junk, again on another '99 model
    there are others in Raleigh that may speak up that are quite capable as well

    Got the LED's in the bed installed and wired up. Still need to find a few connectors to finish the front lightbar wiring. Hoping to finish it after work. This whole dark at 5pm sucks.

    Thank you for your reply.

    1. I am planning to do a full leaf pack swap
    2. I bought his truck from Chicago 4 years ago, but the previous owner kept it with minimal rust. I tried my best too although I lived in North. I should say it is as good as a Southern truck.
    3. I live in Lillington, NC. I am willing to travel.
