    Ride with 3 leaf and 5100s is pretty decent. Not great but far from bad.

    Completely agree. You can save a lot by looking around and shopping in the states.
    When the dollar was close to par a bought a lot more from the states and saved a lot.

    Are you wheeling at all or is this just for looks?

    If just for looks than I'd swap to 6112's upfront set at 2.5" with 5100's on the rear on progressive AAL and airbags for load. You probably already have 5100's in the rear since that's what Toytec uses.

    If this is for offroading and load I'd go to some real coilovers up front, like Icon stage 1 shocks, and match the shocks in the rear to the dakars.

    Are your Toytecs the one's you can adjust like true coilovers? If you get rid of them let me know. I would be interested in buying them off you.

    Yes they are the fully ajustable ones. Purchased from TocomaTown. I have the invoice in my inbox still. $1101.19.
    I don't off road but I hunt, fish, cruise the back roads. PM me. I may be interested in selling them and switching things up. They would only have 7000-10000 kms on them if that,

    Hmm, I'm kind of surprised. Most guys like the ride of those Toytecs. If they aren't doing the job for you up front your only option is to go to either 6112's for $$$ or a true coilover for $$$$.

    Maybe it's due to the weight of the plate bumper and having to have them cranked so much to achieve the 2.5" of lift? Maybe it's the rear setup being so rough and the fronts are good but I'm just annoyed? haha. If you're interest in them let me know. Maybe we can work something out.

    I PM'd you. you can always get a heavier spring for those Toytecs too. I believe they come with 600 lbs springs? If they do, going to 650 lbs could help a lot.

    If it is sent UPS , DHL , Fedex or any other courier service , they will charge a brokerage fee

    That's what I meant by handling and customs clearance. Sorry I couldn't remember the word for it. In my experience FedEx often will preclear the package somehow and give you a decent price for brokerage. UPS seems to like to sodomize people on brokerage. My wife was dinged almost $200 on a $90 dress by UPS once. We fought it and got a bit back but it was annoying to say the least.

    Yeah my local Cap It quoted me $2700 or so with install... And that's accounting for the fact that they have to mod the rear shock mount on the '15s

    CapIt here is always way out to lunch on pricing. They wanted $1200 for a smittybilt XRC winch and over $100 for an ARB recovery strap. I don't even bother going in the store anymore unless I'm desperate and need something fast.

    Duty is only 5 percent for the aussie made suspension parts. You pay that plus tax, so Duty isn't insane. The insane part is the brokering fee that most carriers add on. For US made suspension parts there is no duty fee. fed/prov taxes which you would pay anyway.

    At least you have a 4WheelParts in Calgary though, order online and pickup in store... Some good deals there I've seen. My winch was about $200 cheaper (and no shipping) than Amazon had it at the time I ordered

    Yeah , fuck UPS

    I bought some Ridgid LED lights from the " Free Shipping to Hawaii , Alaska and Canada " sale offered by a then TW vendor last year

    Light kit was about $280 , UPS charged me $95 COD brokerage at my front door to release them

    Finally something reasonable...

    "I can have the All-Pro AAL kit here in 2-3 weeks, landed Canadian price will be $245.05. We can also get the Toytec progressive 3 leaf pack from Toytec in the same time frame. Price on this option will be $275."

    Any input one which to go with or are very pretty much the same? I don't haul and looking for smoothest ride.

    The latest quote I posted is from Tacoma Town here in Alberta. Those prices are to my door. Just a matter of choosing which one.
