    Lifts in general void warranty, but some dealers are cool about it.... most are not unless they sold it and installed it. So choose wisely and understand the rabbit hole you are jumping in.

    Got it. So seems like my best bet is the OME kit or 5100 standard and get the ECGS regardless of which

    So my honest opinion is your truck is perfectly capable stock and if you can't get there by truck..... you need to hike it. Keep your warranty in tact and go have fun. After warranty.... do what you want.

    I know I know. But I just like the look of a slight lift and want to run 275/70/18s honestly.

    I know I'll get shit for it, just looks better on the truck and Iike a slight lifted look

    Toyota makes the final call, it’s not up to the dealers. Some dealers will just not disclose the fact that you have a lift to Toyota and do the warranty work.

    Still have blocks back there. And what in front spacers? I’m sure it would ride rough.

    Not sure I thought it replaces them but maybe only the rears. They add a huge spacer to front and blocks to rear, recipe for axle wrap.

    Wow it’s 1k for that shitty lift? They use spacers and blocks and then their shock in the rear. If you really want a 4” I’d look elsewhere, I think BDS has a better kit.

    Ok thanks. With the OME setup, can I run the extra 1/4in spacers on both sides? Kind of like this guy

    If you want more lift than yes. Just depends what your hub to fender measurements are after the lift.

    I'm thinking the OME may be the way to go with the Dakars
