    First I would like to give a huge thanks to @Rob Daman, I swear I must have watched your install videos a million times. It gave me the confidence to install my pro kit.

    TRD Pro kit
    Headstrong 1/4 top plate spacers (both sides)
    Icon aal O/L left off

    Entire install took a little over 4 hours. The hardest and most time consuming part was grinding off the clip on the stock leafs (what a pain the a$$). I'm actually thinking of putting back on the over load leaf just because it looks too "level" to my liking. I didn't take pre lift measurements and after 100 miles it sits from ground to center flare 37 1/4 inches in the front and 38 1/8 in the rear on both sides. No taco lean, actually feels like a truck now lol. Next on the list is new wheels and tires

    I like the method 309's but hate that they are not completely black. I'm still searching for anything that's all black and that measure 16x8.5 and tire size I will be going 265/75/16

    I had my dad's help, he has 40 years of mechanical experience. It was like watching a doctor perform surgery. No instructions needed he just asked what the torgue specs were.
