    Those monkeys that magically park your truck for you.




    I have ~3" right now. Just bilstein 5100's with FJ springs.

    6" DB lifts are exactly like their abbreviation. Douche Bag Lifts. They're cute and all, but they don't work too great in NE because your cross member is still at the same height, plus I don't trust those pieces of shit. Cheap junk.

    As far as the overall lift, I was looking at coilovers, but I'm gonna do something a little different :D. Gonna go with 69" wide front and rear Dana 60 with 4.56's and ARB lockers. 4" wider than stock. Then my plans are to run a 12" shock in the rear with appropriate coils, and run 14" or 16" up front because I will be able to cut the shock towers into the engine bay. So for now, my truck looks just fine on 33's, and when the time comes, it might be on 35's or even 37's by the time my fiancée needs it to drop the kids off at soccer practice, because after all it is a soccer mom wagon, right?

    I have everything planned to a T. Money is the only issue right now, but I plan to be SAS'd and locked in 1-3 years depending how things go

    shouldnt you buy a double cab for the kids? there not supposed to sit in the front because airbags will kill them in a crash.

    Yeah we are thinking about an access cab but we both love the single cab look (and the price tag too). Base model because we always end up adding or modifying what we want as it is. I think the plan is she can take my truck with the kiddies and I DD the Tacoma. I don't mind switching trucks on a daily basis with her haha

    My dad is 51 and in full kidney failure. He gets infections constantly and is susceptible to getting illnesses easily because he has immunosuppression. I hope he lives to see his grand children because I don't know how long he can stay on dialysis. He's getting his ass kicked as it is. No fingers and lost his foot due to it. He relies 100% on my step mom. She can't work so our home income is fucked. Both of them are living off of 75% of his salary he was making in 2005 when he went on disability. No adjustment for inflation. The only thing keeping us above water is my child support, which ends when I finish school or turn 23, whichever comes first.
