    Not sure if it'll work or not. I followed the plans in the book I'm reading, but the boards don't line up. Not sure if the plans were intended for unplaned lumber or ?
    Big gaps between the levels, though. I'm wondering if the dirt is going to flow when there's a heavy rain?
    Oh well. If it does, I'll empty it out this fall and modify the design.

    Yeah, me too, haha!

    Ha, that's clever. Too bad they based it on a Grumman and not on a Tacoma, that would have been classic.

    So im growing bored with my suspension lift. I want to go higher. I have the OME 3" with dakars in the back. Would it be a ok to add leveling kit spacers on top of the suspension and blocks in the back? I would have to do a diff drop and probably a thicker spacer for the carrier bearing and longer break lines. What else if anything would i have to do?

    Stay away from spacers... And blocks... And the diff drop for these trucks does absolutely nothing. With IFS any lift that isn't a true suspension lift, ie. utilizes spacers, blocks, drop brackets etc, is going to do more harm than good, especially if you take your truck offroad. If you want more lift, look into saving your pennies for a long travel setup. Or a purpose built mid travel setup from icon or fox, etc. mind you the highest mid travel set ups can go without components breaking pretty often is around 3". Anything above that is silly because you loose the down travel in the suspension.
