    I installed the Icon Add a Leafs which gives you 1.5" of lift. I highly recommend this because if you don't it will look like your rear is weighted down.

    Your truck will need an alignment after the install of either of the stage 1-4 kits, however once aligned by a professional your alignment will be spot on. You will be fine with that AAL and the shell. I highly recommend the AAL's regardless of the shell or not this way the truck retains a slight rake for handling when under load from cargo.

    TRD Sport wheels are 25.5 lbs ea, so you're saying these Method 301s are 15.5 lbs ea? I'm finding the Method 301 in the size you bought is ~27.7 lbs ea.

    Brandon, do you know what the weight is of your tire? ive been looking at the toyo at2 and ive found 3 differnt weights for thos tires starting at 48lbs, 50lbs, and 56lbs

    heres a site that i found them on http://www.treaddepot.com/tirelist.html?quickfind=2857017

    if you click the tabs on the left side of the screen selecting toyo tires and all terrains it would show you the selections.

    did you get the 10ply black sidewall 56lbs or did you get the 48lbs tire?
