    Joined a week and a half ago and ordered my lift from others suggestions.

    Front -- Bilstein 5100's set at 2.5" (finished install today)

    Back-- Deaver 3 pack AAL - Toytec Boss shocks - Carrier drop kit - Degree shims (back lift goes on next weekend)

    Did not use the front diff drop kit I bought. Some say it can cause issues? opinions?

    Owner of a local off road shop said not to use the degree shims unless I have issues? opinions?

    After front lift

    It's hard to see in the pics but it looks like it's trying to do a wheelie. Will look right after the back goes on.......alignment and bigger tires next.

    Ride in the front is near stock. I have not had an alignment so I'm not judging just yet.

    The back is smoother it seems. I give that credit to the Toytec Boss shocks
