    Loaded -
    Build question for you. I have a 2013 TRD Baja. I've placed the Toytec 1" spring seats for the baja front suspension and a 1.5" AAL for the rear. Currently I'm running 285s on the stock 16" rims w/o rubbing, but it's a close fit. I'm looking to get a bit more lift to fit wider tires on... say 33x12.5 R17 or 18 w/o having to replace the baja suspension I already paid too much for. Any suggestions on getting 1 more in of lift in the front? I'd prefer not to chop much cab to fit the tires on. Did your Eibach spring replacement raise the front much?
    Thanks.

    Not too much lately... still recouping from the spending overload I had before the last Moab trip... Worth it!

    That would be awesome if he made one like my truck! Those are pretty sweet!

    So if you already have the 1" toytec and and AAL there isn't really anything you can do for more lift. You would need longer shocks to get anymore lift. With that being said it doesn't mean you can't have bigger tires. If you go any bigger you will have to start cutting, chopping, and beating back parts of your truck.

    When I swapped coils it didn't add lift, it brought me back up to stock with my bumper, winch and skids.

    Absolutely. I have a couple thousand miles on them already and it greatly improved stopping power. Used to sometimes feel like it wasn't biting before this.

    Thanks!

    Yeah they are great. I am going to swap some front stainless lines soon. I am pretty sure that would firm them up a little as well.

    EBC S4KF1494 Stage-4 Signature Brake Kit, BLACK
    kit and
    $13 Carlson Quality Brake Parts 13003 Disc Brake Hardware Kit
    brake parts from Amazon. I got the "caliper squeezer" or caliper press from ebay.
