    Hello all, just wanted to say hello. I just crossed the 1 year mark in ATX and recently bought my second Taco (2023 TRD OR Lunar Rock).

    Spent a lot of time on the Louisiana board during my base pre-runner days. Excited to be on the Texas board.

    First project is replacing the 1" front and 2" rear blocks with an upgraded suspension. Looking for a 2" front lift while maintaining a slight bit of rake. The journey begins!

    Welcome to the club. What lift are you wanting to put on?

    That’s the question that’s been swirling thru my mind. Had 5100s with Eibach coils (2.5”) and AAL (1.5”) on my last prerunner taco and liked the stance. Currently bought my new one with a 1” front spacer and 2” rear block already installed (stance pic below). Ultimately, I’d like to get to 2-2.5” up front with some coilovers, and likely keep the 2” rear block with some upgraded shocks. I like just a little bit of rake. Haven’t decided on a system yet, but Bilstein was good to me on my prerunner. Although I’ve had my eye on the Fox 2.0 PS for a while.

    You should see my license plates for my Tundra. Didn’t request them, they just came the way they are.
