    Just put my bilstein 5100 shocks and add-a-leaf on my 05. It was way easy and pretty cheap. I'm only into it like $250 for parts minus new wheels and tires but it still looks good with the stock ones. I really like the stance. I've always had trucks with ate east a 6" lift but this looks pretty damn good. I highly recommend you head over toyteclifts.com and check it out. I'll post pictures soon.

    Is this all it would take for a 2012 SR5 dclb? I would love go add a couple inches but don't want to lose much usability or ride quality. I never off road nor two. Mostly haul stuff and people.

    The suspensions the same so 5100 bilsteins and add-a-leaf will work. A few things I will be adding is a set of bilstein 5150's in the rear. I've seen the 2012's with this mod and they look awesome after you slap some 285's on it. And 20's sconce you don't do any offroading.
