    Installed Icon stage 4, Trophy D552 rims, and 285/70/17 BFG KO's. Sorry didn't get before and after measurements. Tried to put the truck in the same location as the original pic. you can kinda see a difference. The front coilovers are only set to 1.5, can go to 3 but I didn't want a rough ride on the street. The last 2 pics are out in the desert just north of Adelanto, California. Truck handles great on and off road. Tires are very quiet on the road, and the ride is very smooth.
    A huge thanks to Tiger and Mike over at Go Big Truck Performance Inc. Ventura, California. These guys did an awesome job at a great price, very professional.

    Nice looking truck. Your mods are tasteful in my opinion.

    One question though .... When you said "A few changes to the Taco " .... are you pronouncing Taco as in "Taco Bell " .... Yo check out my Taco ...... or are you pronouncing it like Ta-Ko .... like Tacoma without the ma ..... ?

    I'm leaning toward the Icon Stage IV myself but would prefer the full 3" up front. I wonder how much stiffer it will be when on pavement.

    The only rubbing I had was when I turned the wheel hard over in reverse, the back inside of the right wheel would rub the cab mount. Took the truck back to Go Big Truck Performance, they cut the cab mount back a bit, welded and painted it up on both sides at no extra cost. No more rubbing.:)
    When I took the truck back to them and asked if they could fix it for me, I suggested just taking a hammer to it. They're reply was "no, we don't do things like that here, we do things the right way". Bought them a case of beer for that one.

    That shop sounds like a good find. They seem like they actually care about their work.
