    Something you could look at is getting 265/75R16 (though I believe the sports come with 17's) so that'd be 265/70r17 IIRC. That will give a little more aggressive look and slight clearance. Then 5100's on stock coils with an AAL would be $400 give or take. Put 5100's on Eibachs that get 1.5-1.75" lift and you don't have to have UCA's. That'd be about that $700 range. @Wheeler's Off-Road, Inc is in my neck of the woods and they're great guys. I have never worked with Marie at @HeadStrong Off-Road but I hear nothing but great things. They are moving and not responding to emails currently. I think next week they're back but check their website.

    Spot on I have 5100's set at .85 with eibach coils and it gave me 2.5" lift, 3 leaf progressive aal from wheelers gave me about 3" (way more than advertised but legit) And extended shocks in the rear. It rides better than stock and functions very well. If I do again I may substitue OME coils for the eibachs for a little more lift and allowing strutts to be set at 0

    The same shit everyone else has.
    Do it in pieces. It's less painful than all at once. Replace one component, save up for a month, then replace another.

    That is the one advantage to installing an inexpensive/used/takeoff lift as soon as possible. As you are able to replace items with upgrades you don't have to drive around with a truck that's leaning.

    Finally got my post-lift alignment done. Giving the Firestone lifetime alignment deal a go, one of the shops here had good reviews, and best of all, it's directly across the street from my favorite Pho place so it was an excuse to get lunch.

    IDK about the suspension cost debate.. I've been pretty happy with my OME setup and it was less than the cost of my tires. I haven't had much in the way of finances for the last while and I can't personally afford a King setup right now, but I also don't see the issue with spending 3k to make your 30k truck ride good. The only thing I don't understand is spacer lifts.

    Ugh. My truck is too tall to fit in my garage so I STILL have to work on it in the driveway! For anyone that's house shopping, don't make my mistake. Make sure you get one with a big garage door.

    Funny you mention that. Just yesterday I was thinking about making some kind of logo. If anyone has some sweet creative juices I'd be open to submissions for the official "Tacomaholic" branding logo. :D

    Holy hell what a day at work! The only thing getting me through is knowing that tomorrow I get to work on someone's truck from Tacomaworld. :D @Me. Projekt
