New From Jersey

Hello to all,

Great site.

Driving a 2011 Silver TX Pro w/39k and have done the following upgrades:

KC HiLights 634 130w
PIAA Yellow Fog Lights
Headlight bulb upgraded to Silverstar Ultra’s
N-Fab Light Bar
Replaced chrome TX pro grill w/a stock one & painted black
Viair00088 88P Portable Air compressor w/tire repair kit, mounted in engine compartment.
LED interior bulbs
Pioneer Radio (discontinued model)
Removable Sirrius receiver
Cheap-o Floor mats (to save TRD mats)
Softopper
Custom bed platform w/carpet & hinged to fold
Rubber Bed Mat
LED Reverse Bulbs
Backup camera Esky EC135-05
A stock Black Rear bumper to replace stock chrome one.

I read a ton of "lift" posts and found one that didn't offer too many different suggestions and was a reasonable price. I'm not gonna run 285 size tires. Will I be good to go? What I picked from the drop down. (887/add assy cost/Light racing UCA).

Thanks.

 

X2 with what @scottalot said above^!Welcome to TW @U-bolt (OP)!

 

Also from jersey here.

Check out my build thread in my signature, i am running 887 on bilsteins. if you have any questions feel free to ask

 

Thanks zth25, I'll probably hit you up when I get closer. I'm located up in Sussex County few hours from you.
Looking to achieve the same stance you have. Nice truck!

I'll get pictures up eventually for all. I'm a security IT guy so I have a reduced personal internet footprint. My job allows me to burn up 480 mins day on their internet & It's free. I know it's not the norm.

The lift options are pretty much endless from what I have been reading. It's crazy.

I picked the Head Strong kit because it has what I feel I need all in 1 shot & didn't want to be missing something when I do the install.

My trucks is a daily driver, 60 miles a day back roads & 2 lane highways. I'd be what many on here call a Mall Crawler ( That's a funny stereotype. I can embrace that ) So I may drive over a curb, small slope like a median if NJ traffic is too much & even a few dirt roads. Who knows, but I want a cool look, quality parts & the ability to drive somewhere on that off chance I need to make a quick getaway. The downside to this is my truck will probably not fit in my garage once I do this. This is a dilemma for me. I'm one of the few people where I live who actually uses his garage for what it's intended for.

When I get the cash for this kit and I decide to do it. I'll double check on here to make sure I did my homework and I should be good to go. Thanks!

 

Quite the list. Looks great.Welcome.

 

Welcome!

 

im running bilsteins all around 886 springs in front, dakars in rear and carrier bearing drop.

 

I'll be yet another to chime in and say good choice in going with @HeadStrong Off-Road . Marie and everyone else over there are awesome, and I purchased my LCAs through them.

But, welcome to TW! I'm anxious to see some pics. Mine is silver as well, so I wanna see how your soft topper looks on it! And of course, I wanna see those KCs

 

Thanks everyone! Glad to be able to share pics. Pics tmrw I'm hoping. Those KC's are awesome and I found them cheap so I purchased 2 sets.

Sometimes Amazon isn't the best price.

I forgot 3 other Items to add to my list. Plain Nerf bars, Tinted windows & I am currently running 4Runner wheels/tires 245/70/17 Hankook Dynapro ATM Tires for winter (used set was $275.00, lugs were $60.00) I don't want to ruin the TX Pro wheels with the NJ salt. Can't set the TPMS, no big deal.

 

Welcome to TW @U-bolt ! If you have any questions about the kit just PM me, I am here to help!

 

Pics.

 

Thanks
HeadStrong Off-Road.

Will do.

 

Forgot this one.

 

Lift:
Front & Rear 5100's, 885 set @ 0, Top Plate Spacer Kit, Rear Deaver AAL. Staying with 265/75/16 wheels/tires and I do not carry a spare tire.

I did not buy UCA's.


Yesterday I received my Headstrong Lift everything looks good, packed really really well, shipping was just a few days. They do require a signature on this delivery I missed that when ordering. I'm never home so it's a pain. I guess Im pretty lucky to live in a safe neighborhood where I don't have to worry about theft. Marie was super helpful. Thank you!!
I'm also lucky to have a High School buddy who has a shop & will install my lift for free. (except alignment).

After saving $$ & reading a ton about lifts. Seems to me some have issues after a lift & others no problems at all. Was hard to filter out all the nonsence with the true installs and the "should I pick this or that & done this or that type questions" in the threads. I have job that's perfect for researching. Just hope my setup works out well or it will go back to stock. I also have Hubcentric Spacers 1.25 to go on my stock fakelocker wheels. I hope I don't run into baring issues either. If they fail at least it will be summer and I won't be so annoyed if I need to work on my truck. My trucks a mall crawler as some would comment on & I find very funny. Its' true! So the most off road is probably my back yard, a field or a median to pull a U-turn in NJ traffic. Thanks for the thousand threads on Lifts, Spacers, Possible Issues & Resolutions to include HS for help in answering my questions. Pic's soon.

 

Welcome!

 

You are very welcome and thank you for your business! I can't wait to see pictures
