    No, not w/ dropped air pressure. I am quite certain that if I grind against a rock I will tear the vinyl overlays and accept that risk. The kit came w/ an extra wheel's worth of overlays, and you put them on individually per spoke so I think it would be easy to fix.
    Of course it will not be as durable as a quality wheel as it is purely cosmetic, but it was inexpensive and has held up perfectly to my mild off-roading and the nasty winter roads. I also smoke-tinted my tails and then decided to replace them with the pro-style ones since I liked the look. Vinyl is a cheap way to try out new things. I also painted my rear bumper with PlastiDip and didn't expect it to last but it's on it's second winter and still looks perfect.

    Couldn't wait for the weekend so the rears are on. Left the Eibach 1" block for now, will assess after the front install and see if I'll swap in the 1/2" after.

    My advice, start on the driver side. Once that's done, the passenger side is a breeze. The hardest one to get out will be driver side closest to the front of the engine.

    Team Oil Drip has a very good video on YouTube on the spark plug removal.

    24 inch extension is good, make sure to get a swivel magnetic spark plug socket like Rabbit suggested.

    Also, I found it easier to loosen the one bracket on the driver side near the cab by going through the wheel well.

    The coil clips were the problem for me. Just they did not want to come undone.

    When I first bought my truck. I lent my truck to my brother so he can move into his new home. Unfortunately my brother forgot to clip the ball in on the u-Haul trailer. Which resulted in him hitting a bump and the trailer falling off and one of the safety chains catching (one side was longer than the other) the truck only had 5600 miles on it. And today I fixed the bent chain loop.

    Installed Diode Dynamics interior LEDs last night. Quite an upgrade versus stock interior lighting. Also bought front/rear Bilstein 5100s, Eibach 2" lift coils, Icon AAL, and JBA UCAs.

    My buddy built me a hitch skid by cutting a $15 harbor freight hitch in half and welding it back up……..I couldn’t bring myself to pay upwards of $150 for skid from a manufacturer.

    I ordered the same set, and planning on installing mine this weekend. What size lift are you running? What do you think of them so far? Thanks!

    Solid score. Should be a huge ride quality increase over the Eibach Stage 1 and the Fox are rebuildable / revalveable if you want to change the setup down the line. IMO the best way is to separate the UCA and knuckle at the ball joint. On all the Tacoma's I've put lift kits on that just pops right out with 1 whack. I'm not sure if there is any lift from the Pro suspension itself, but I know they look great with the Westcott spacer kit.
