    I've never done a control arm myself, can't bee too bad right? And I wouldn't need the AAL considering I already have one correct? Also 3rd gen shocks should fit my 2nd gen? I'll sit lower than currently, still have a little lift, and an OEM like right yeah?

    As long as you confirm these will fit your rig, than I'd go for it.

    Looks good, offer $200 without control arms since you won't need them. You'll need to get an alignment after you install the new stuff and remove the AAL.

    He said he'd take 200 with no UCA, he also has spacers for the front he'll throw in. Should I use the spacers and just keep my AAL?

    Maybe your truck is a "back to the future" phenomenon. Like it never saw the street until just recently.

    good catch. If you just put on the suspension in, you'll need an alignment as well.

    Depends on how big the spacers are I suppose. Too big, and you may run in to alignment issues. Keep in mind a 2" lift spacer is actually only about an inch in height.

    Toyota sells trucks with this kit on them (including the spacers) Still wouldn't be a good ride? I suppose I could go no spacers, I'd just also have to remove a leaf, correct? I was just @ Toyota today and looked @ a 2017 with the exact same bilsteins and spacers. Will the spacers really make the ride that much worse?

    White letters out.....will smooooth it out..........


    An 11 year old truck with 112K?? My 2012 with 35K that's never even seen a dirt road, is garage kept, and lives here
    in the Good Ole' Southern USA. (No salt) Doesn't look half that good.
    Damn......must be doing something wrong.
    I'll have to check and see if Meguiar's makes any Frame & Exhaust Detailer.

    Just put that bad boy up on a lift, pressure wash and degrease the heck out of it, then spray some I-10 by Granitize, show room floor condition baby!

    I agree with everyone else, I think the shocks are your main culprit. You might try some Bilstein 5100's if you want a good ride and a lift.
