    Quite a lot!
    Sorry for the delay.
    What "numbers" are you looking for?
    The numbers I have:
    - I went with Option 2.
    - Gained approximately 1.5" to maybe 2" in the rear.
    - Over the rear I have approximately a static 150 lb.
    - Cost $735 + tax w/o install.

    From what I understand on
    http://iconvehicledynamics.com/shop...ta-tacoma-multi-rate-rxt-leaf-spring-kit.html
    Option 3 is for loads around 600 lb.

    The best I can do as for Before & After pics (I wish I would have thought ahead and took a before pic and measured the clearance in the rear before) @CR2014Sport

    ~hope this is good info for you and other members~

    Anyome else in here have a big audio setup like me with spl? Im running into an issue and need advice. My box sits ontop of storage bins with the seat bottoms folded up. 2 15s facing up and the port is behind the drivers seat firing up. If i want it to be as loud as possible i keep the drivers windows up and passenger windows down, but when i do that it makes those 2 doors visible shake in the sockets rapidly compressing and uncompressing the seals. Well now the seals making these little creaking noises on every little bump on the road at low speeds. High speeds keep them pushed in from air pressure. I believe that putting some kind of lubricant on the rubber might help since the creaking is more like micro rubber squeek sounds. But im told rubber reacts badly with oils.

    What do i do.

    *edit: the squeeks are only audible when my volume is below half. Aka when im driving anywhere with my old lady who doesnt like loud music.

    Got front shocks from a 2017 TRD OR installed finally + 1/4” spacers from wheelers off-road. What a bitch to install. Tried the disconnect spindle from UCA and the ball joint was just not letting go. Had to do the method of loosening LCA cams and 2 bolts that attach to spindle.

    And now just the rear 1.5” AAl to do and I’ll be fully lifted!

    Swore I’d take before/after measurements but I forgot. I’d say I got a good 1.5” up front with the 3rd gen shocks+1/4” spacers. Difference was noticeable after finishing.

    May I suggest spray silicone lube. It's the only thing I've ever used. Just make sure you spray it on a cloth not on the weatherstrip directly. May have to do it a few times wiping up the excess off painted surfaces.

    I originally bought enough washers so the front of each seat could have four, but the bolt didn’t want to thread back in nicely so I just stuck with three for each bolt. I might go back with a small file and file the seat a little so I can put the 4th one in.
