    umm..well..882s already push the limit of front lift man..

    don't get hooked into "MORE LIFT BRO!". 3'' is actually not good for our trucks. You'll go through CV boots like crazy.

    2.5'' front lift is the best way to go with the least amount of driveline stress and damage.

    Yeah ... you are not going to get much more lift. Time to start adding racks for gear to the bed for less rake. :)

    I do want a bed rack ......but before that I still want more front lift, better headlights, ucas, bigger tires, more lights, welder, then a bed rack/roof rack. Plus what ever maintenance or parts I need to keep it going in between :D

    A bumper here, some tires there..... you know, stuff.
    i still have mine. i had to cut the forward eye bolt to get them out so i can't guarantee they will still work since the rest of the bolt is still seized in there.

    When I was a new derpy taco owner I thought that the garage door opener holder in my sr5 could be easily changed to a temp and compass display by simply buying one. I then learned that I would need a whole new overhead console and would have to wire in my own temp sensor, drilling through the firewall, etc. and decided to just sell it. But I haven't gotten around to putting it on the marketplace because I would rather sell it local to avoid shipping. That and I have been lazy about it.
    Lemme know

    Didn't we measure my stock springs when you were here and figured out they would not come close?
    Gotcha. Well let me know when you are ready to donate. :)

    Yours toast, or are you just looking for a backup? Maybe we can do a little trade at some point... Mainly thinking about how good your work with interior winch controls would look in my truck once I finally get a winch...;)
