    If I remember right you got the 2016+ coils up front? So you have a 5in lift now?

    How's the ride feeling? Big difference?

    Nope, I got TRD off road take offs from a '12. You may be thinking of @ChadsPride, he got 16s. It rides amazing from what I could tell on the short ride home, big improvement from the 887s. The 887s weren't that bad, I just didn't even have the weight of a 4x4 let alone a bumper to soften it up, I really should have gone the maxtrac route to begin with lol. All the angles are back to factory too, so that helps alot. Alignment was really bad so didn't wanna drive too much, that will be fixed tomorrow morning. Overall very happy, and havnt even had the chance to drive it more than a few miles yet :goingcrazy:

    Did you install it yourself?
    I can do the front no problem. It's the rear I'm worried about. I've never touched it before

    Another member and I did. I wouldn't have been able to do it alone. If you have all the right tools and can follow instructions, you should be good, especially with experience. The rear is much easier if you remove the entire leaf pack.
