    One man's loss...

    Having the pipe installed Wednesday. Was going to attempt it myself but bending the rear hanger without a proper torch is too risky.

    You may be nose high if you don't raise the rear at least one inch.

    Yes, you will need new shocks if you do AAL in the rear. Otherwise you'll max out the travel on the rear shocks from time to time, which of course isn't conducive to their health.

    If you're only planning on leveling the truck out, you should see how much rake you have and go from there. Most Tacos have 1" of rake give-or-take. Once you figure that out, you need to find a front suspension option that will only eliminate that rake measurement, otherwise you'll be nose-high.

    A good option to check out for leveling would be Bilstein 5100 shocks up front (although you might as well go all 4 corners) and set them to the first notch. Only minimal spring preload and you're level.

    Thanks for the info. I have a 2015 trd sport, so it does have bilstein shocks all around and this is the level I wanted to go with (for now atleast)

    Yes.
    I'm still thinking about a 12 circuit Blue Sea fuse box under the hood.
    And then a second 6 circuit box under the center console to run all the Radio gear in my truck.

    Haha, that's a huge improvement! Question, the 100 amp breaker on the side, does that come with the kit or is that separate?
