    Are you still running the LROR leveling kit? Still happy with it? What size tires were you able to run on your truck with it?

    Thanks!

    I just had mine installed by a Toyota Tech and I couldn't believe how nice it rides. I love it. I got it on the recommendation of another Tacoma owner who had the same setup on his Tacoma for 3 years.

    I'm about to put the lro kit on my '16. I had an 06 ram with a front leveling kit (spacer) drove it for 7 years and over 160k miles on road and off never had an issue with it.

    I've been seriously considering this kit. I would only do light off-roading at best. Mostly just 4x4 for winter etc... but very light otherwise. Has anyone running it noticed a difference in gas mileage? Mine is a 16' sport.
    I'm not sure I understand all the "spacer lift" bashing but still interested nontheless.

    I have it but haven't had a chance to put it on yet. I am keeping my stock sport wheels but I put 265/70/17 Cooper discoverer at3's on a few weeks ago. no noticeable gas mileage impact, I'll post back after I put the kit on. I'm hoping to do it tomorrow.

    Nope, haven't had time to put it on yet and my weekends are pretty much booked until mid August. It's killing me seeing sit in the box just waiting to put it on.

    Sorry to bring back to life, but have enjoyed the thread. Got my kit in the mail yesterday. Hopefully will have installed Saturday. Figured I should take the special opportunity to take progress pics and maybe a vid with the GoPro

    I had the low range 3/1 lift in my 05 and just had it installed in my 14
    I'm running 285/70 17 tires and am very happy with the lift
    I only use it on light trails and have never run into any problems
    Not an expert but I always heard that using the larger bump stops was important in keeping the shocks from bottoming out
