    2012 DCSB TRD abused plenty with loads over the years of hay, firewood, lumber, you name it. But the past few months the ride has gotten pretty lousy with a lot of sag in the back end since two huge loads of hay (1,200-1,500 lbs). I will now shamelessly mention Corey and his great shop in Thornton, Colorado, "Insain Fab." This lift was bread and butter for him. You should see his custom metal work. Awesome. Meanwhile, 3" goes a lot farther than I knew when it comes to moving firewood off the mountain. I love the ride of course on the new springs/shocks, but didn't expect this much joy out of a lift as well. (Dakars plus ToyTec Boss lift).

    Pics it is.
    Nice to hear from a fellow Lefthander. Fourmile Fire was gnasty. Flood was as bad. We were just above the epicenter (you should have seen Jamestown). We couldn't get out for a week or so, then it was six months of driving through Gold Hill to get to town and back. Right now lower Lefthand is all dirt. It's getting a huge facelift.

    The proof... A shot of the lifted Taco being admired by horses visiting from Texas, and a close-up of a ToyTec Boss shock with a muddy OME Dakar leaf spring in the background.

    I live in Thornton. Where is his shop located? I'm in the process of buying my lift kit and would love to know a great shop to get some work done.

    Lift looks good btw!!

    Contact Corey at sales@insainfab.com and he'll give you the address. He's near Holly and 116th.
