    How's the ride with those TPS on the eibachs? Did you go with 3/8" TPS?

    My relentless is weighing down the front too much and now I have too much rake. I was thinking about 1/4" TPS but was worried about maybe it being too harsh of a ride.

    Kidding about the 35s, but I would say some rock sliders, satoshi, retrofits, aux lights. Your truck looks good the way it is IMO.

    Bone stock. For now.
    I didn't notice any difference in ride quality. I'd say go for it. Dan at Wheelers sent me the kit for about $20.

    Trimming, ha, wait til you flex :) I would recommend a suspension lift, then some good sliders and skids.

    Edit, it depends on your goals, but that's what I would do (did).

    Are the rotors the same diameter?
    Was there any modifications to do for the swap?

    Like to know if there is a better stopping compared to stock.
    I've tried aftermarker rotors and pads but nothing seems to stop these tacomas better.

    Improved and added some grounds to the engine and body to the battery...now some of the issues I was having seemed to be less pronounced...Word of advice, when they say check your grounds...do it.

    Rotors and calipers are larger than the Tacoma equipment.
