    My initial rake towards the front was because my spring perches were upside down. It has been corrected and I'm about 1" higher in the back now. No settling either. Same height as it was when installed.

    Finally someone that understands wheel fitment. Not a huge fan of the wheel choice, but that's purely subjective... well almost purely, you are sporting a lift with fashion wheels.

    Just put wheels on mine today and I to had to do some trimming. Your front mud flaps are missing? I had to either trim this or remove it...same with you? Wheels and tires look great!

    I put the same rims and tire size on mine except BFG ATs. Bottoming out on speed bumps while turning is killing me. Want to do suspension proper, but out of money.

    My opinion, I think its stupid and a waste of money to jack up your truck.
    You changed the handling and the center of gravity of the truck, you made the truck unsafe and hard to drive, you took away the handling how it takes the tight curves, the oversize tires require more engine power and gives you less gas mileage, you don't take your truck off road to climb rocks cause you're afraid of getting it dirty or scratched up.
    In the winter on slippery roads everyday I see SUV's , Jeeps and trucks that are flipped over on their roof and I know how it happens, mostly it happens cause of the higher lift of the vehicle, its top heavy, its jacked up, and the driver always has his steering turned tight to one direction, and he locks up his brakes.
    You guys are not considered experienced or professional drivers to handle an emergency situation on the road, and with a jacked up truck with oversize tires it makes it 10 times worse.
    Yes, I am a better driver than you, yes, I have made stupid driving mistakes in the past, yes, I have learned from my mistakes, but I have enough brains to know by doing mods to the tires and suspension it makes my truck unsafe and i trust the Toyota Engineerers that they designed my Tacoma with saftery in mind.

    bottom line: Your jacked up truck is unsafe and your not a good enough driver to drive it!

    When I see a truck like yours driving down the road exceeding the speed limit I think of the family with babies in their car also driving down the same road and you crashing into them and I don't like you guys, I rather see you suffer and dead than some innocent baby dead!
    Yea, I know i'm an asshole, but a long time ago I did hold a dead baby in my hands from an auto accident.

    Just give it some time
    I didn't read through all the posts so perhaps my opinions have been echoed.

    I become somewhat OCD when it comes to color patterns and such and the one thing that sticks out to me is the black rims. Just a whole lot of black and not a whole lot anywhere else (but I did read you planned on more black badging). I don't know what you do in your truck, but perhaps a black bull guard, bug reflector, roof rack, things like that would help even things out. Where the chrome is on the grill you could have body color (I've at least seen it, but I'm sure you could do black there as well). You'll probably want some black nerf bars, too.

    Also, something a friend of mine does is get's the body paint and colors in various nooks and crannies. I'd recommend painting the indentations of the rim spokes body color. It'd help even things out and give it a truly unique look.

    Otherwise, I think you're on the right road, and it sounds like you took on the big stuff first. Good job, and keep us updated.
