    Does your vibration go away in 4x4? Might want to read up on front diff vibrations, this might be the cause of your vibration.

    if the Front Cab Mount wasn't there, I could see the a 1" body lift being helpful.

    The rubbing isn't really bad at all. I am more concerned about how close the body is to the slider.

    Thats what I was thinking. He said the steering gets stretched a little and I will have vibration. He said bottom line, you will regret it.
    Im calling bullshit on hime and installing it.

    I have a 2005 Yota on 38 13.50s and had a 7.5 inch lift on it but it was giving me problems with my CV axles so I got a 6 inch lift and now it is to low to the tires and i was wondering if i should get a 1 inch body lift to fix it ? Any experience or ideas ?

    Tomorrow I'm installing a 1" BL on my 17 O/R

    My lift is listed in my profile, I just want back the lift that I lost when my suspension settled..

    I'm considering this just to replace the smashed ass front cab mount bushing on my drivers side.. when I hit big bumps my cab slams into my sliders and sounds like a frame elf is hitting my truck with a hammer.

    Body lift is installed, everything went smooth other than I didnt need the drop brackets for the radiator. I installed them and it caused the fan to make contact with the shroud. So I removed them, reinstalled the radiator then checked clearance and everything seemed ok. I'm probably gonna call toytec and pick their brain about this. The kit is listed up to a 15 and I know the 3rd gen is 1" taller so... yea . The radiator brackets did not line up neither unless you pull up a couple small tabs or hangers on the stock radiator bolt retainer

    Truck looks great!! so is the fan a bit off center to the radiator now? How would you rate the install? i too have a MGM and love the looks, would like to tackle the install myself but i am not really handy.
    Thanks,

    Thanks I do appreciate it! To be honest it dodnt seem to move that much at all. I checked clearance and let it run for bit before I drove it. Seems to be all good. Just get familiar with where the body mounts are and give yourself a little extra time like anything else. It really isnt that bad of an install

    ...and it's not easy to see but I didnt install the rear pucks. Once I installed the front I really liked how it leveled out. It only works because my bed cover makes it look taller and the window line/curve on the back of the cab doesnt show and looks even. Also if you look at the front of the bedside it kinda gives a little more "flare out" like the tundra beds look
