    Alright just ordered my lift! Was really torn about what to do so ended up getting the 6112s and 5160s for 820 bucks. Figured I save a little cash and get sliders sooner rather then spending the extra 500 on the Icon stage 1. Now just gotta figure out settings and if I want to do a 1inch block, aal, or leave it stock in the back.

    Something I found out by accident . A set of Sumo poly bump stops raised my back by almost two inches. Wanted to add extra weight capacity to pull a travel trailer and ended with a mild lift.
    Softer ride than blocks.

    I needed more weight capacity than stock, so I went with the Wheelers 5-leaf setup. I tried the 4-leaf, but it didn't add enough capacity. It actually rides better than stock now; I think that's due to the Bilstein 5100 shocks.

    Sliders are next for me, although I fear my cat is getting clogged. I have a decided lack of power lately. :ballchain:

    I also replaced the stock TRD shocks with 5100 all around. Front set at second notch, I am not a rock crawler just go where 2wd would get stuck.

    Is anybody looking for wheels and tires? I've got a set (4) of stock second gen off-road wheels with 255 85 R16 Cooper ST Maxx tires. The wheels were Plasti dipped but I started peeling one of them. The other 3 are still black but the Plasti dip has a few chips. I'm in Ruidoso but I'll be coming through Albuquerque on Saturday morning. Looking to get $350 obo.

    Hey Andrew, the truck looks great with the new suspension under it... you should be able to get around a lot easier now. Sorry I couldn't help with the install, I had to get back to real life after the MLK day escape.
    I don't think I've ever eaten as much bacon in one day as I did that day with you.

    Hey Johnathan, just wanted to let you know that I've been praying for you and your family, and everyone involved in your situation. I hope things get back to normal for you soon.
