    Dear Tacoma world,

    Just finished my first ever lift install today with the very much appreciated help of you guys. It's an icon stage 1 lift with light racing uca and icon aal. Most went well except for a stripped bolt. Alot of you more seasoned mechanics/diys would of taken a considerably less time than I at 16 hours. Alot of rererereading and rechecking torqs.

    Got a couple questions though. So drove it home and all felt right and tight. Took a look and saw my leaf springs and it looks not completely flat but was a little concerned I did something wrong.
    1. Is it supposed to rest that low? I forgot how the stock ones looked so I couldn't quickly judge myself.

    2. So I left the front coilovers at factory settings. It sits 1/2in lower than the rear. I might let the shop do it for me but I figure I installed it myself I should learn to adjust em. Any info on how much turns to get 1/2in in the front or is it just lift up and down the front and trial and error with the spanner wrench?

    Much Mahalos to members of Tacoma world. Spent almost $200 in renting a stall and tools at a military diy shop but you all saved me much more than taking it into a shop and the experience/knowledge.

    Looks great man. Don't worry about adjusting the front.. Easy. Jack up the front, spray some Wd40 on threads, unless do lock Allen bock, turn clock wise, count rotation.. I just did this yesterday, turned 6turns each. I have ext. Ones thought. Check your makeup pre load, (amount of threads visible) 4 turns is 1/2". Re tighten the locking bolt. Be careful. Not too tight in that
