    I have always heard both, I just PM'd a buddy who works at ToyTec back home and indeed they are NOT rebuildable. Only the 7000s and 9000s series

    I always gave Cooper a little training treat when I house broke him, I would take him out, he would do his business, then give him a treat when he comes back in.

    Heyyy look who it is! Haha. From my research i have done on lifts, billies are the most economical way to lift. They limit downtravel i think? Whole the spacers limit uptravel i believe. Buttt don't quote me on that

    Anyway, my .02 that i actually have to add is the airbags will reduce your downtravel and flex offroading. I had them on my last truck and they were great for loads. If you plan to do much wheelin, i would look into new leafs though. I took john's dakars off his hands and they are doing great. Handled a few hundred pounds of dirtbikes and gear just fine :). Not the cheapest option for sure. But i would definately look into leaf options if you wanna do much wheelin!

    My Alcans weren't super unreasonable either. 640 for leafs that'll give me almost 4 inches with 800 pounds in the bed.

    Custom TRD Badged Grill, PowderCoated Black Steelies, with 285/75/16's. Studded Firestone Winter Force for Winter snow, Firestone Destination M/T for the summer mud, 2.75" Ready Lift Block kit in the front, and 2" AAL in the back, 5100 billies, TRD Cat-Back Exhaust, K&N CAI system under the hood, on a sesame seed bun.
    Definitely want to do wheeling. That's the only reason I hang around you guys. Lol. Right now I've got 2" blocks in the back--- I. Hate. The. Ride. Then 2.5" spacers up front. So I just now ordered 5100's all around from Wheelers and ordered their 2" leaf set so I can get rid of those blocks in the back. And like was said, the 5100s up front will suit fine until I can afford coils, maybe at the end of this summer. I probably don't even NEED to throw the front ones on right away, I can wait until I get coils. Buuuuut, I doubt I'll be patient. Lol. All for around $400.
