    So I knew going into this that it was an inexpensive/less than ideal way of lifting the truck... but 2 and a half inches for 160 bucks to my door was too good of a deal to pass up. Very impressed by the quality of the materials, install was just as the video depicted on their website, a little tougher on a vehicle with 130k on the ticker, but again, I'm very satisfied.

    One thing I wanted to add, in the video they show them replacing the rear shocks (poorly), with this lift it is not necessary to replace the rear shocks, and if you plan to replace them, don't order theirs, I'm pretty sure they ship the Tundra shocks out on Taco orders... Just get a pair of decent Billies and save yourself a future headache.

    Its actually a 2 inch block, it has less rake than stock, but there is about a half inch of rake. The ride is stock, no better, no worse, the top plate spacers dont preload the spring.

    Yea I would think that would be more level, I've just got 265's on right now, will be ordering 285's in the next month or so.

    I am thinking about going with the same lift with maybe a 1 1/2 in block in the rear. How do you like the lift now that you have had it for a few months? Any flaws yet? Did you squeeze the 285's under it yet? If so, could you post the new pics with the tires? Thanks man keep me up to date before I bye.
