    How do you like the Headstrong AAL? I'm thinking of doing the same one with the 1/2" shims as well. Just curious if the ride is really stiff. Also, did you leave in your overload springs?

    The ride is not stiff in my opinion. I honestly forget how stock ride is. Lol no they said in the directions to remove the overload springs.

    You should take a video of how it works.

    Good to hear. I've heard some people keep the overload for a little more lift and for towing. I don't tow much, so I was planning on leaving it out.

    Best looking steps if you're not doing anything gnarly offroad. Fits the truck well.

    I have the same setup and it is not stiff. Articulation off-road is good as well. On my previous ‘17 taco I also added the same setup but kept the overload leafs in because I had a shell.

    No problem. For the headstrong aals they said to take it out but i know icon aals you can leave the overload springs in. It didnt matter much to me either because I dont really tow either.

    Thanks, guys.

    Diverting funds for mods (suspension, lights, HU, wheels, tires, etc) has not been an issue. My wife calls it my adult LEGO. :rofl:
    Actually, my she has been egging me on to buy another truck as she likes the way this one sits/rides. :anonymous:

    Been wanting to do this @MESO mod forever. KC V2s arrived today. Going to have a buddy try and help me wire this up since I’m electrically illiterate.
    I plan on doing the 3 middle lights as red brake lights. I’m not sure whether to go diffused white or clear white on the ends as my door open / bed lights. Thoughts? I’ve never used cyclones before. Would you go clear or diffused for your truck bed area / surround 3rd brake light area. Thanks as always TacomaWorld Peeps

    I'd go diffused, but I'd also do 3 whites and 2 reds, and hook up the whites to a "Your high-beams look great, asshole" switch.

    How about a white one in the middle to illuminate the bed and 2 white on the outside for off road illumination.
