    My truck is similar to yours without the lift. Could you possibly post more pics from side?
    And are you running 265/70/17 's ?

    Just did the shock install and an icon AAL in the rear. Got exactly 0.5” of rake which is what I wanted. Much firmer ride in the best way possible.

    Next up, UCAs, Trail Edition wheels and 285s.

    Happy Camper!!

    Just picked up my truck from Beaver getting the lift done. My price was a bit higher than yours for some reason but I also got the tube steps and some other things done. I posted a thread about my experience here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-manual-from-getting-the-trd-lift-kit.724791/ . Seem to be pretty good folks at Beaver Toyota and it's close enough to me that I won't mind going out there for my maintenance work during the warranty period at least. We're going to look for a new construction home out there when housing prices return to earth; housing prices in Buckhead where we currently live are beyond silly.

    Thought some of you might like to see this.

    Exact same truck parked right next to me this morning. You can really see the difference between stock and the 2” lift here. Subtle, yet very noticeable.

    Don’t mind my parking job. Lol.

    I'm already running 265/70/17 Duratrac tires on 4runner TRD pro wheels.
    So the lift will look awesome!!

    Well, it’s a big box with a grille, a box with 4 shocks, and then a box with 4 small boxes of various wires, electronic parts, nuts, bolts, blocks and bits and pieces. No instructions anywhere...

    Duras…. :drool::drool::drool:

    Probably my favorite looking tire. Just not for me with all my communizing.

    Or is this the new Duratrac-lite from Discount Tire?

    For those that are thinking about installing the kit themselves, it does not come with the install manual, but the parts department can print out a copy for you. I installed mine by myself, in a driveway, with hand tools only and no spring compressor, took about 3hrs total, including grill and aiming the headlights. (mind you, I did this for a living for over 20yrs, so YMMV) There are new alignment spec's, be sure to let your alignment shop know.

    Forgot to mention, if you install the new Milliwave sensor, it needs to be calibrated by Toyota. I put the original one in, and it functions as normal.

    Can you post a side view of your truck? I am considering the lift with my 265/75R16 (same tires as you).. I just bought the tires so I don't want to upgrade to 33's just yet, but also don't want my tires to look small with the lift
