    hows your rear suspension set up? I'm curious as to how the ride is like compared to the stock setup.

    Thanks! You've got a nice one yourself. :thumbsup:

    Definitely stiffer. The only thing I remember was the stock setup wasn't as stiff as my current setup.

    Sounds like they are. I think it's about time you upgrade to TC UCAs and Icons or SAWs. ;)

    Another option is picking up those Bilsteins that neslerrah is running.

    I'm considering following a similar route with my truck. I want to lift mine, but i don't want to do a spacer lift. I'd kill to make mine LT. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing on that part.

    Thanks guys.

    Yeah, they definitely did. I've never seen another 2nd gen rocking those wheels, let alone 15s.

    TC's mid travel kit is really nice. You can't go wrong with it. Although LT would be nice, it is pricey and it can be impractical especially if the truck is your daily driver. Unless of course you plan on doing desert runs frequently. :)

    Haha, thanks guys, but I'm pretty sure NakedTacoma has me beat.

    This doesn't go without saying that everyone with 5-luggers are stepping it up.

    Yours is very clean and original, even though Nakeds has an LT rear.
