    I was going for the "milk before meat" approach. We'll get there.

    How does it ride on pavement compared to stock suspension? I'm considering doing something similar.

    I personally like it. Just the right amount of firmness in the front and I like digressively valved shocks.

    Thanks for all the info as well! Sign me up for the team!

    I have a 2013 TRD - I've been wanting to put on 265/70r17 Wildpeak AT/3, but seems like they only come in load E? Which are you using?

    As far as lift goes, looking to do 2.5" front, 1.5" rear. I might have some dumb questions here, but I've been reading around and can't seem to find the answers. Seems like the Bilstein 5100's are a good choice in the lift to have a smooth ride. Does adding the Toytec coilovers help with that or do they add more to the lift? Same thing with doing the AAL or block for the rear - do they add more to the lift or just help suspension? I don't mind spending the cash on something that will improve the comfort as well as have minimum issues in the future.

    First "update" is complete and it isn't even an exciting one!

    Had my buddy (dealership mechanic) change the idler pulleys and belt. Went with a complete Gates kit from Rock Auto. Tensioner was still good. It immediately got rid of the whirring whine noise from the worn idlers!

    AVS makes these new slim line window rain guards that I installed on my truck and they look great! Might be a good one for your mod list =)

    Update - today we installed Rough Country's new M1 coilovers, providing a modest two inches of lift and getting rid of the old, blown out OEM coilovers. I am pairing N3 RC shocks in the rear.

    The new bullet antenna adds at least 50 horsepower
