    Nice looking truck. You did fine.

    I, in my unpopular opinion, think our truck's look fine in their stock height. I know I'm the minority.

    Thanks everyone. I took off the step bars and I feel I like the height a lot more. Just need better tires now.

    shoot the bottom pinch weld below the rocker black. It will visually make the truck seem a bit higher. Easy/cheap/nice.

    Use the tire calculator to work out a good fit. I got 1" of lift by going to a 2" taller tire. No suspension mod, no rubbing (but it's a five lug) You may not need 'wider', but can create taller with various aspect ratios.

    It was an 09 Corolla XRS. It was a little rocket! But I just started back at my old company and will need 4x4 capability again. No longer a city slicker!

    Are you telling me my 4 wheel drive controls beside the steering wheel do nothing? Because that's pretty important. Lol
