    Well I did it! Installed the toytec ultimate kit today. So far so good I havent really driven it much, got done with it this evening. But so far Im pleased with the results. I was surprised I actually got pretty much dead on 3" of lift in the front with the coilovers set how they come from toytec. Which from with there calculations I should have got 2" of lift or so. But I know every truck is different. Yet Im still surprised I got that much lift. Deff around 2" in the back. But its sitting pretty level. But will take a closer look when its light out. Thanks again guys for answering my questions.
    Its time for rims and tires now :)

    I wired up the LF 240s! Great spot lights, they don't flood like my Hellas did but go DAMN far. So now i have to get the hellas mounted for flood lights.
