    3" lift by prev. owner. Unfortunately, he did the lift on the stock suspension, so the ride is really stiff.
    Thanks guys. I do already have a lift on the truck. When I get on my lunch break I'll take some pics and post them. I don't know much about it yet, but I do know that the previous owner did the body lift with the stock suspension, and it just rides horribly. I know Yotas are stiff anyway, but this goes beyond that.

    NYCO, Don't worry I don't get offended easily. I don't think I'd try it though, haha.

    Interesting, body lifts don't change ride quality as they don't alter the factory suspension in any way. Sounds like you have a spacer lift or both :)eek:!). It'll look like a spacer disc sitting on top of the coil spring. This preloads the spring and the suspension loses the ability to absorb road variations. Looking forward to the truck pics and welcome to the CO group. There's a lot of helpful people in this area.

    Jerry said that he has 1st gen IFS skids just sitting around ready to ship.
    I bent a lot of the 2nd gen ones out over winter break, they had to be pretty precise.

    Yeah. No shit! I think I have measured the distance between the first and second bend about 15 times to make sure its right....... Then I second guess myself and do it again
