    I think the bj lift is 2" by default. But you can take the tension off the torsion bar from stock amount and make it as little as one inch of lift. It's the fat bob bj lift kit for Toyota pickups. It's how you get 3 in without losing all your down travel on a pickup front end.

    Last set was still holding up after the accident, I'll be getting in touch when that time comes for sure :)

    I'll pick it up from his house. I think the only thing missing from it is the sway bar drop and if I remember correctly you don't actually need that if you only use it for an inch of lift

    There have been some improvements to the design since then ;)

    Thank you, hoping to do majority clearancing with bfh and angle grinder again; an inch should be plenty.

    Oh lawdy, they look so much nicer now. Do the dimples serve as latch/ tie down points once the brackets are bolted in??

    I don't think you'll hardly have to do anything for skinny 33s, they basically fit as is on pickups, they have way less interior foot room which means way bigger wheel well room

    Tie down points are exactly what they're for ;)

    @Wulf was the test subject when I churned out the first set out of 12 gauge (as a beta). We decided the leg should be extended to add strength, and I opted to go 10 gauge vs 3/16" due to cost (both to me and the customer). The added strength from 3/16" was really unnecessary.

    I will still offer a set in 3/16" if someone wanted but that'd be even more.

    I'd be okay with having to cut less for now. The 31s on it now have plenty of tread, they're old as shit but no cracking

    I mean a 10.5 is a skinny 33 you might have some trimming for a 12.5 tho. I think you can just bolt the skinnies right up

    Nice! They came out really good, I'm happy to see how much progress you've had on them. Makes perfect sense on the gauging versus cost. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for cheepie shells. Think beds the same size on the tundra? No se

    Thank you, really appreciate it. Was looking for about a month before it came up. Offerup again, just like the wheels and shell that were on the slug

    Just curious have you tested the 4wd out yet? I imagine it's got the J shift right and not the push button 4hi?

    I'll have a 4.56 rear open diff available in a few months. That would be perfect with 33s
