    When I added the 700 lbs coil it brought me back to the stock height. When I added the spacer it got me up to a full 3" lift with a bumper, skids, winch etc.

    Minimal. I had the Pelfreybilt rack for a while and that thing was loud. There definitely is wind noise though and when I initially installed my light I had a whistle, but that was because of the jagged edges I created when I installed the rack. Which was avoidable with the light pitched at a different angle. I also have no wheel liners and 35s so noise might be more noticeable on a more stock truck. I have noise coming from everywhere. lol

    I have a very similar Tacoma to yours, but every time I see a raptor I can’t help but think I need one in my life. How do you like it in comparison to the Tacoma?

    No they were the 35 x 12.5

    Honestly I kind of wish I had both, but my truck was just sitting and I didn't want it to rot away. The Raptor and the Tacoma are hard to compare because they are just so different. The comforts, power, sound and overall presence of the raptor is really fun. The tacoma just made way more sense for overland, shtf or rock crawling. I wish I lived somewhere where I could go baja the Raptor a little.
