    I got about 2 3/4 all around. I could jack it up more, but I'm pretty pleased with that height. Just need to make sure the tires clear. I'm sure I could get a TON more in the front and with a different leaf pack or adding back in the overload leaf more in the rear, but I'm happy with it and don't want extreme angles. I've got the adjustable valved suspension so I can change the ride to stiffer or softer. I put it all the way to the stiffest setting and honestly it feels just a little more stiff than the stock "sport" suspension. I'm going to loosen it up a little but leaving it for now.

    Yessir! It'll peel right off the paint and break off leaving it attached to the emblems. You can use a toothpick to get in from the areas in the enclosed letters (A, O, etc).

    Yeah it uses the rail system to mount to the bed and lock in the front and you can still use your stock cleats on the rails. I think its like an hour install but i took my time. It does leak a little I got about a almost a cup of water when going threw the high powered car wash so you might have to make some sealant tweaks to address that but I still like it because it opens and locks at both ends. check out the vids and you can decide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6RgFPg6sFs

    I just went with the cheap way out. I washed with the green scotch bright pad and painted after. Don't know if it will last, but will let you know.

    Nothing to complaint about the light output so far, thing I did before installed to my Taco:

    Front LED Light Bar , disassembly all the screws, discovered 5 screws were not torque properly (not tie compared to others screws, applied clear silicon sealant around the front housing before re-assembly the bezels back (failures from Amazon feedback due to moisture and water leaked into the circuit).

    Rear LED Light Bars , discovered the glass headlight and aluminum housing have gaps around the perimeter. Again, applied clear silicon sealant between the glass and aluminum housing (failures from Amazon feedback due to moisture and water leaked into the circuit).

    Conclusion: These affordable LED light bars are not sealed properly and caused failures (moisture and water leaked into circuits). Cross my fingers that after re-applied silicon sealant, these LED light bars will last for numbers of years.

    Did you get both mirrors with a built in blind spot mirror ? because when i type in the 87931-42D50 it says (on the OEM sites ) without blindspot.

    Did some things to the truck over the past couple of months that everyone else has done. Which is why I wasn't in any great rush to throw pics up but what the hell.....tinted the front windows, put on AVS in channel visors and put new bedside decals on. Have to represent the home state up here in the frozen tundra that is New England.
