    My intent was to always replace it with a "real lift." But wasnt expecting divorce, so i'll be delayed on it a bit. Adulting sucks sometimes.

    No kidding. Not sure how they can do that. Must be something they are allowed to do in the southeast region. Toyota doesn't like dealers doing aftermarket modifications on new vehicles. Makes warranty claims very difficult. They are usually limited to paint protection and pinstripes.

    Don't take offense, but you sound like a duct tape noob. The only limiting factor is a lack of imagination or ingenuity

    I can kinda confidently say that speaker wire + duct tape is better than OEM

    makes sense. Lift kits are the first thing people to do to new trucks here in the South... 99% use them to commute, lol

    If you're in a bind I have a set of takes offs from a sport sitting in the garage to get you by. I might be able to get them to you this weekend.
    free, if you want them let know.

    I'm not on here very often so reach out on IG.

    Thanks brother. Appreciate the offer. Was actually able to get a good deal on 5100s and it literally took me 15 minutes to swap them out per wheel. Rides much better. Thanks again !!
