    Thanks man, once I got up there I had to come back and winch some people out of that same spot lol. They make one hell of a difference

    How much lift do you have?
    Sometime next year I'll do a poor man's lift with 5100's set on .85" with stock coils and an AAL in the back. I'm hoping that won't affect the CV's to much.

    3+ inches. Its fox 2.5s extended travel with 650lb springs, all pros exped leaf pack, and fox 2.5s in the rear. With just an AAL and 5100s with stock springs you're fine.

    agree with this omg. marketing all the way. and if you like the Bro and hate attitude then they'll have plenty of that available for free. especially if you have a Toyota.

    I had a 2.5" lift and started growling. Installed the ecgs bushing and was good but the engine computer hasn't been the same since even after lowering it close to stock

    The gas pedal was so smooth before the lift and engine sounded/felt great but after it just feels sluggish. Doesn't accelerate or sound the way it used. Maybe it will go back to the way it was once the computer makes some adjustments

    What size tires are you running? That is probably the biggest culprit.

    I love the clearance and the look with my lift. But I regret going the cheap way. Once I get my rear bumper and new skid plate time for a ome lift.

    I was running stock rims and tire size. After lift I had 255/60R-18s. Now I have same wheels but about 1/2 inch lift. Gas mileage was another reason I lowered it back

    If it’s sluggish then you got something else going on.
