    That's what I got with factory coils and 265/70/17 and rides the same as my neighbors dclb with 888s. I personally don't see a difference in the ride and he is running Nittos v/s me having Toyo s.

    Are you on 5100 and factory coils? What setting? Gotta compare when they are set at 3rd or top notch. Most just repeat what they hear off the forumns, but i found the 888s gave a softer ride over all

    Yep, 5100s on factory coils, 4th perch and rides softer than my Sport suspension did. 265/70/17 Toyo open country at2 SL on some TRD pro Sema wheels, ecgs clamshell bushing and a 1/4 spacer forIMG_20190208_074034716_HDR.jpg the lean with a one inch block in the rear. Rides like my neighbors who just recently did 5100s on 888 coils with a block and they look almost the same in height. We both see no difference in the ride. However people do believe what they read.

    Thought about it, then I either got to black them out, overlays or replace with new ones or debadge all together. Then I got to do black lugs and exhaust tip or paint the whole exhaust. I do like the TRD sport badges that look like the pro emblems and then do the black emblems on the tailgate and last remove the TRD stickers. I like a little chrome being a few hints of it here and there. I'm getting ready to install my all black Clazzios and heated seats. I'm also adding rear heated seats as well.

    You can plstidip the emblems...easy, cheap, and removable. You can spray vhy nightshade on the side mirror signals....again cheap and removable And the hardest will be the headlight mod. Dont mind me, i like posting pics of my truck lol711AF842-104A-434F-9ACF-D2B9F90D3940.jpgF69B1287-BCEB-4AAC-91AC-14D7BD7B73DB.jpg8EB83316-DADF-465E-B03C-3942487E1004.jpg363AF342-A567-4D0A-8B07-BB0AC9856EE7.jpg

    Sweet. Do your tires rub because of the offset you have? or since those are 265s, it clears?

    Take a look at the Remote X on Amazon, I paid $159.99, I think went up to $179.99 now. It was a simple ½ hour install and works perfectly through the remote on push start Tacomas. Extra wires are eliminated and very clean install (Same Fortin unit everyone has). 12V was what I had been looking at and then looked at N2 units for $199.99 and decided to give this one a shot. It just works and I think only issue is if you want to spend the $300.00 to get the cell phone remote start module. It won't work with the Remote X.

    Was hoping to not have any vibrations or issues and so far it seems to be good. Just enough to differentiate it from all the other Tacoma’s in the area.

    I think when I last measured it was around 23.5" for the fronts

    Definite rake front to back.

    Don't take my word but I swear I've read that long beds get less lift from the OME coils as compared to short beds. Not sure how true this is, but that could be the reason.
