    Best way? Ditch the spacers for a leaf pack built for your weight and desired lift

    I too am considering a new grill with raptor lights for my 23 OR, but I did see some of the aftermarket grills had problems with the Raptor lights staying in place. Then I got busy before I could thoroughly come to a supplier decision. Good luck

    Thanks! :thumbsup:

    I'm at just under 75k miles so figured it was time to replace the stock shocks/struts. Originally thought I would level it off but with the 3 settings on the front 5100s it would have made the front about 1/2" higher than the back...not a fan of that, especially if I end up hauling stuff. At least this way I have new shocks for ride improvement and have the flexibility of adjusting them in the future if I decide to go larger than 265's (and raise the back). I was under the false impression that all TRD models had Billstein shocks but not necessarily so on the sport model. Mine were Hitachi's.

    2nd the road master. Have had it for about 1.5 years and it’s been awesome. Helps a lot with a full or empty bed

    You can hold 12 ounces but cannot put the cord of the gascap in the little hooks.

    Well ... you can hold 12 ounces! :cheers:

    yeah. So you can adjust it to two different “positions”. Basically the distance between the springs being a dime vs a nickel gap. I have mine set higher at the nickel gap and it gave me about an 1” of lift in the rear if I had to guess

    Nothing apparent. Both Bluetooth and Carplay are supposed to be more stable.

    Just got it
    Installed RedLine Max Lift hood struts. Helps having a good rivet gun and drilling smaller pilot holes was a good thing also. Was scary drilling into my 2 month old Taco, but I am glad I did, now that I am done!

    Switched out the Philips H11s for some Philips H9s in my low beams, replaced the old high beam H9s, and replaced the old H11 fogs.
    Received the German made ones instead of China too. That was a big plus for me when it comes to halogen lamps.
    The 400hr lifetime rating is big for me as I drive about 100miles a day for my commute to work.
    OH! And some new wipers ;). Ready for the snow to fall!
