    to start off, i inherited this truck from my grandfather after he passed. started with a bone stock 2018 trd sport. first “mod” was removing dam and mud flaps. then moved on to a 2.5 supreme suspension level kit in the front and a 1.5-2.5 inch Torch add a leaf in the back. Tires are a 275, 70, r17 General Grabber. Rubbing on upper and lower control arms made me go with a 1.5 inch supreme suspension wheel spacers and extended stud kit. then i moved on to the Hooke Off Road bed rack and Plano gun safe for camp storage on top. made a couple DIY shovel and flag pole mounts in the bed and added some interior storage and lighting to get me where i am now! last picture in the thread is completely stock

    I second this question. I have had that leaf in my bookmarks for like a year now, but never hear anything about them.

    it works great ive had zero complaints. it lifted the truck just like it was supposed to with little to no difference in driving comfort. definitely recommend!!

    Great I ordered mine last night. I wasn't too sure if I need the kit with the shims or not so I got it anyways. Only $30 bucks more so I'd rather have it if I need it. Did you end up getting the kit with the shims or not?

    Nice! What was the final amount of lift you got out of the torch? 1.5 or 2in?

    i’m not sure exactly but i’d say closer to 2 since it sits a little higher than the front
