    Hey guys, first post so excuse if I ramble a bit.

    I have a 2014 4x4 double cab. Its not lifted right now, all stock. Id like to level it with the 5100, and Ill put the same shocks in the back. So it will be stock in the back and 2.5 in the front. I will all larger tires once the lift is on for clearance.

    A few questions-

    Install time? I will do with a friend who has much experience lifting trucks/jeeps.

    Durability? I assume this is not as rugged as some more expensive lifts, and I live in Hawaii and will use the truck for some minor off roading, mostly dirt and rock. Some trails we have been on already started to tear up my flaps(very minor). Anyone who knows the road to Makalawena is about as rough a road as we will be on...

    How big of tires can fit once lifted?

    Really what I am concerned with is the durability. Anyone have these installed for some time who can comment on this?

    Thanks in advance for all the info!

    I like mine. i tow a lot of weight too. great look, cheap and a simple swap out. Uses stock coil and just set the ring where you want. I have stock size tires and i put it at 2.5 in.....looks awesome.

    With that lift you can't really go any bigger than 33's without cutting. Even with 33's it may rub a tiny bit depending on your setup. Good luck with the install. Welcome to the site!
