    I have been considering this as well. Any increase in cabin noise from the engine?

    Those look great, I like that your flares don't have fake bolt heads on them - that always irks me for some reason

    SOS, not a fan of the high rear end stance due to shackle flip, taking a pull.
    Raise the front or lower the back? Or leave it be?? about 1.5in of rake. Front is Fox 2.5 remote resis, rear is add a leaf and shackle flip.

    I personally love the stance, but I vote to raise the front .5". It will still have the stance, just not quite as aggressive. :thumbsup:

    A little rake is a good thing IMO. Level is OK, nose-high is :puke:

    enough to have fun
    I have a version that I’m announcing soon that could work with some covers!

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...tions-update-q-a-thread.665411/#post-23325470

    GB #1 ended, but I have some exciting news coming out today! Just gotta figure out where lol

    Edit: Here is where I posted it: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...tions-update-q-a-thread.665411/#post-23325470

    I have always liked this idea, I just can't steer away from racks that I don't have to remove my front wheel. The best idea I have come up with tho is two pieces of aluminum flat bar sticking out like yours that you could just bolt a 1UP rack too. Only thing is...those racks aren't that cheap for a little convenience haha. I did convert my T2 into a swing out over the winter tho!



    [/QUOTE]

    nice! I have a version that doesn’t require taking your front wheel off I’m announcing soon. Just gotta make a thread about it lol

    I just have a hitch on my swingout that I used.

    It was just such a long setup

    Spent the morning changing rear diff fluid, installed the breather mod that's been on the work bench, and added a lock to the cubby door that houses my on board water pump and hose.

    Oh! and used the truck to pick up some local kegs to refresh the kegorator to make working from home better.

    I say drop the ass end. The front is already plenty high

    edit: measure from the top of the axle tube to the bottom of the frame rail and you’ll see how much lift you have over stock. Stock is 8.25”

    I agree with EST. Plus, i'd be more concerned about the performance of your expensive front Fox's if you overextend them.

    My Tacoma is the same silver. I like the way the bumper turned out. Also, how the F do you keep all your black plastic looking so new? I live in Phoenix so it's hot as balls most of the year and the plastic takes a beating.

    I say bring the front end up a little bit then because at a glance looks a bit lower than the rear. Rear being only 1.75” lift, the front is probably not much more than stock height. What length/weight coils and how much preload on the front?
