    Aloha, Hawaii member here.
    Just picked up a new Baja TX used from a local dealer a few months ago with low miles and have been doing some mods from all the info on this site!

    This site has been so helpful when it comes to deciding which mods to buy or tips on installation. Aside from alignments and new tires I try to do most of my mods myself in my garage.

    So far I've done the toytec Baja spacer with Icon AAL and SPC Uca, u bolt flip with superbumps, DT y pipe to TRD cat back and a K&N CAI and some other small mods.
    Also got some cooper ST maxx 285/75R16 recently (Not in the picture)

    I plan to get a light bar, some light armor underneath and maybe regear in the future.

    Thanks!
    Kyle

    It gave pretty much exactly an inch, paired with the icon AAL with the over load left in I got a slight front take. Love it! The spring rate did get noticably stiffer though. Removing the front sway bar helped with ride (ESPECIALLY off road), and since the springs are stiffer the truck doesn't have any excessive body roll I'll post a side profile picture for reference.
