    Sounds good, Devildoc!

    Cant wait... Toytec.com seems the way to go $149-Eibachs + $79-AAL + $30-UPS (plus TW discount) = $250 :D:D:D

    Yea, definitely installing better equip makes sense to help truck out; i wont worry about warranty.

    Should i expect any alignment issues?

    I don't think so. Just get it align after you install all your parts with your new tires.

    Sweet! Looks like i'll be pullin the trigger on the Eibachs this week!

    any thoughts on rear height? 1" or 1.5" or 2"

    wont AAL stiffen ride up, rather than blocks?

    cant wait to see what my taco will look like... i'll be running stock 17" TRD with 265 NittoGrapplers for a while until i get my hands on 285s. you guys think i can keep stock rims and use wheel spacers to squeeze in 285s (with trimming)? any issues with UCAs? ( i could always try to sell stock wheels, instead of spending on spacers... and buy new wheels later, just an idea)

    I've never had a spacer, and I havent installed my billys yet, but Im curious why you would spend the money for billys (basically a 2.5 lift if you want it to be) then not use it as a lift and go and buy spacers. from what i've always heard bigger suspension is always better than a spacer, but to never stack multiple lifts, so why not just use the billys at 2.5 or whatever u want, and then slap on the new tires and trim where neccessary?
