    I like the lift. Not too aggressive and stands out real well. Perfect lifted taco without sacrificing a lot of mpg and ride stability.

    Thanks a lot man. Appreciate it. Been a long process but it suits my needs perfectly. I see some trucks on here that are unbelievable but wonder about usability.

    A friend of mine lifted his dodge truck and now he has the death wobble.....I guess some people just get out of control on their lifts and don't think about the downfalls. But that is just my opinion.

    Yeah I agree. 3" seems like a reasonable height...especially if you do it "right". With the UCA's, my alignment is right in spec, it drives nicely and I get great wear out of my tires. I think it all comes down to utility. I wanted a truck that I could use. I tow, I plow, I haul, not to any extreme with any of those things, but I do those things. I take it off road but not to any extreme either. I wanted to be comfortable so I put in the heated leather. I wanted it to sound good inside and out so put the TRD exhaust and a little better head unit. When I lifted it and put the bigger tires on, performance suffered so the supercharger helped that. Lighting wasn't very good so I upgraded front and rear. My truck does exactly what I need to do and it's paid for! I guess that's the bottom line...ya gotta build something that works for you...

    Hey Greg, Just ran across your thread. Nice truck. And the cars not bad either. I read in a different thread that you use an app on your phone thats connected via an OBD-II bluetooth sensor to check auto trans temp. Could you enlighten me on this? How ihas it worked for you and what parts you used. I have an ‘02 dbl cab 4wd with a 3.4 v6 and auto. Looking for options when towing and this sounds too good. Thanks.
