    Driving from Oregon to Baja will do the same!

    Well, really, I thought about the same after getting a larger battery group myself! :)

    For sure!

    Some big weight savings here. Quick recharge and high cycling capability. Good for up to 3.8 liter engine.
    At under 4 pounds I would try one of these Lithium Ion batteries if they were about half the price.

    At 800 cold cranking amps this one should have no problems starting up V-8 engines also.

    1/4 plate up front drivers side is not enough. I had to use a .5" block under the rear driver side as well. Now it almost leans the other way. Full tank and she's perfict.

    I finally went to a suspension specialist who took a quick peek under the truck and in 30 seconds he finds a broken leaf that the insurance missed twice. He even got me under there to point it out. I asked him if was do to the impact and he said it was likely going to break anyway but as far as the insurance is concerned it did. I like the way he thinks so I asked him if he could do up a quote for both sides and list it as one. He agreed because he knew he could do it for less than the insurance since he makes his own leafs on the spot.

    Leaf got fixed and insurance covered both sides and even reimbursed me for a proper wheel balance by a shop with a road force. They even told me to watch them do it so I could see what they insurance did wrong like not deflating the pressure after seating the tire. I was essentially driving on rocks.

    Bumping this. Seems many have this lean stock including myself on third gens. Some people in this thread said Toyota puts different springs up front to account for lean. Does anyone know if this is actually true? Because seems many have stock lean.
