    Thank you! I really appreciate that. Truck looks really good with the black wheels on white. Super clean look, I like it!
    If there is anything else you need down the road don't hesitate to ask. Hope you have a great weekend and get to go have fun with the new setup. Probably gonna be a tad bit muddy out there, haha.

    Yeah, Jason is awesome at his craft. Too bad I'm moving to Texas this weekend because I had plans for him and my truck lol. He did do an awesome job on my suspension upgrade last summer.

    Sorry for the lack of photos guys, I havent been taking many pics of my jobs lately probably because they seem so routine for me! You know what they say about complacency...
    Hope you all are doing well these days with all this crazy virus stuff making the headlines and changing things in a big way for most if not all of us. Crazy stuff!!

    Hammer Hangars from a while back I don't think I posted (dont remember), and control bar, now the rear end isn't flopping around all the time! These things are super beefy with the bar it braces the entire rear of the frame, although the underbed spare needs to be relocated to a swingout or in the bed...

    Almost like stock. At this point after doing over 800 of them they had better! Haha..
    I have templates for Tacoma 2nd gen, 3rd gen, 4Runners, FJs as well as Tundras. All are a little bit different.
    PM if ya need some more tire clearance! I do a few per week and can usually get most people in pretty quickly.
    Hope you all are doing well during this Covid stuff, its definitely affecting everyone in one way or another, stay safe my friends!

    I just want to thank Jason for the great job he did installing the lift on my truck! Helped me a lot on deciding what to go with, and I'm really happy with how my truck rides now. I highly recommend! Now to wait for that rear to settle a bit :)

    The suspension photos Jason took, hope you don't mind!
