    ... installed my Toytec Ultimate lift kit... and all I can say is WOW!!! The ride is actually A WHOLE lot better than stock. It doesn't seem as "squirrely" as the stock suspension... there is a little shimmy (I think) around 2 and 3rd gear, but it's very very minimal.

    I will post pics soon as it was dark by the time my buddy and I finished.

    Question though, the front diff drop... is it neccessary? Even the instruction that came with the car doesn't state my year truck (2014), and then when you go to the website, it pretty much duplicates the instructions that were sent, my year not present. My buddy who is pretty mechanically inclined said it looks like it's no needs as there was no stress on any of the front suspension parts. Any advice would be appreciated!

    Shit bolted onto other shit, and junk.
    I fought the logic on this but it turns out that for 2nd gen tacos the diff drop does more harm than good. 1. It only rotates the diff back so the angle created doesnt alleviate crap on the cv shafts. 2. The drop and angle of the diff may also prevent proper lubrication on the internals.

    I took mine out.

    Thanks guys! That's what my buddy and I were thinking too because just by sight, it just didn't look right the way they wanted us to install it (on my 2014 anyways).
