    Anyone know of a good spot in the Worcester Mass area to get 5100's installed, and the proper alignment. I don't have the TSB at all, so what level would you suggest I set them at? 2010 TRD Sprot 4x4.

    .81 to level it. Install yourself and save some coin its very very easy. Alignment specs will stay within factory so 0 0 and what like 2.4

    Did you just put the shocks in? No diff drop or anything. I want to go as high as I can without issues. What would you go with for the back? You can set the Billies at 2.5 as long as you do the diff drop correct with no issues. So how much of an AAL set up would you go with in back? Thanks for all your time

    Thanks a lot. Does he do inspections to with lifts? I really want to do a 6 inch lift, but think I will have a hard time getting it inspected?
