    ^ that ^ if you chane it to a good 3'' lift with leaf pack & 33" tires
    It's easy. But it does help if you have someone that has done one help. Rear leaf packs are much easier with 2 people.

    Love the cap set up. These cap places try to skin you alive. I almost pulled the trigger on a Snugtop "Rebel". The folks at the company I was dealing with dropped the ball a little and I pulled back. Im seriously looking. As a matter of fact today I did my first modification in lew of the cap. Heres a link.

    Take your money and run. If youre on this sight you will spend $2500 in no time and the next thing you know youre selling yourself on the street corner for more money to get the next mod.

    Save yourself and never come back.

    Sir, Im truly afraid that is simply to late. I have been assimilated.

    Lots of SoCal TWers I'm sure someone would help you with a lift if you asked.

    If your going to be doing desert type off roading, look into ICON's for suspension. From what I hear, they are badass for that type of off roading.

    Honestly save some money and get used parts, you'll find it for around 1/3 cheaper and people are selling lifts, and parts all the time. Get a set of lightly used front 2.5 resi coilovers, used UCA's, Keep your rims, and get some used tires for $500-400 as apposed to like $1000. With $2500 you can get a lot of quality parts for cheap plus pay no tax, i don't like the tax man, most the year except for when he give me it all back.

    I took your advice. Im leaving the stock 17'' TRD Rims and Im adding a 3'' Pro Comp Lift Kit & 33'' tires. I just dropped it off at the shop. They said it will be done by 6:00 pm New Century Tire Shop on Beach Blvd in Midway City. Just over $2000 bucks. Im so stoked to have it done for tomorrows outing to the desert. :)

    Sorry you only have 3" to lift, I wouldn't advertise it if that's all I had.

    I'd put up a suggestion for another mod day in the Southern California section. They have them all the time and I'm sure there'd be someone who could help.
