    This Saturday is the big day for me and my tacoma. Got a plan with my brother and a good friend of mine to help out. Will post before and after pictures later on Saturday. I can't wait, been itching to get her lifted.

    As of the parts I went with for the rear.

    Allpro's expo leafs
    Allpro U-bolt flip
    Bilistein 5125 12" shocks
    Allpro lower shock mounts

    Be getting some leaf spring hangers tomorrow and order some bumpstops as well.

    Only downside it's going to cost me some tbone steaks and a case of beer lol but it'll be so worth it.

    Nice... now get rid of the sway bar and you'll have more articulation.

    I'd disconnect the sway bar and see how you like it. I never bothered putting mine back on. :mudding:

    Looks good, I'd invest in sliders first. They are extremely helpful when in a bind and avoiding major cab damage.

    Been awhile since I've posted anything new. Loads of maintenance stuff done, water pump, new radiator, timing belt, tie rods, lower ball joints, CV axles, spark plug wires, valve cover gasket, cam and crank seals, new drive shaft, fuel filter.

    After I installed my new driveshaft earlier today I went for a test run and baked into a tree. After some cussing and venting I took the tailgate off and drove the truck on top of it. It fixed it rear bumper is rotted and I'm replacing it soon with a cheap bumper from Amazon. Least it'll hold me by till I can get one from CBI :)

    Next mod is my long travel in the front. Debating on 600 pound coilovers or up them to 700 pound coilovers. The 600's I have now are 18" but idk what to get for the 700 pounders lol
