    So you are saying your truck sat, and now sits, dead level? Most tacos have about 1/2" of lean on the drivers side. That is why OME and toltec make compensation shims to make up for that. Maybe toyota has corrected the lean they've had for the past 25 years, if so its about time.

    Can you measure both sides for me with equal tire pressure on each side? I am curious to see exactly where it sits. I keep looking at pics of your truck. those new KO2s are badass

    also how does it ride compared to stock? Does it absorb bumps smoother like it claims. I hear it just solidly absorbs expansion joints and sharp bumps. Apparently softer springs than stock with better shock dampng.

    In the pic you have above with the truck on OEM tires from the passenger side, it looks like the passenger side sits higher than the rear as the frame is slanting toward to rear. The driver side angle does not appear that way, it looks dead level. You should measure to verify you don't need to move the passenger side down a clip.

    I made this post in the Bilstein thread that answers both.

    Oh and the pics of the stock truck are on a hill, so it's deceiving how it actually sat vs on a flat parking lot like the last pic.

    That and I just noticed you got the 6112s and not the TRD Pro version. Don't the 6112s have 4 settings just like the 5100s, whereas the TRD Pro version only has 2 notches (One for the left side and one for the right)?

    I don't know about the Pro suspension, but the 6112 has 5 positions. You can get a ton of lift from these if you want.

    Sick truck dude! These SRs look nice in MGM! Haven't done anything to mine yet, but looks like you're off to a good start!

    Very nice JBecker! I'm in Nova too and would love to get together sometime to check out the suspension. I'm seriously considering the 6112s in front paired with extended travel 5100s in back with an OME Dakar pack.

    Awesome. Were you by chance parked at the Home Depot at Fairfax Circle a few weeks back? I saw a truck that looked just like yours only it had fog lights.

    I actually really like the tires with the SR package rims.
    Truck looks clean!

    Got a brand new in box Doug Thorley cat back exhaust from a buddy yesterday for $75. Plan on doing the install tomorrow. It's alumanized piping with a polished tip and it has the same routing as stock.

    Also looking at doing the intake silencer removal mod and possibly the deck plate mod as well. Need to look into that note though. I don't want it to look hacked up, needs to look factory.

    Well it doesn't fit my truck. Looks like a change was made to the exhausts a couple years back. Might have a buddy make it fit for me, or maybe I'll sell it.

    Got quoted $150 parts and labor to install a Magnaflow muffler using the stock piping. Think I'm gonna go that route and sell the DT cat back I have now.

    Not finding much info on intake silencer mods for this engine though.
