    Figured it was time to start my own thread. Not because I am doing all sorts of cool and expensive things to my truck...but because I feel I am cluttering up every ones threads with my bs-ery. I have done a few things to my truck and like every one else have big dreams.

    Bought a bone stock 2014 TRD OR 6spd man with 31k on it in Sep '16 Here she sat stock, the day I picked 'er up

    Is your second notch on the 5100s, the .85 setting? How is your ride combined with the 884s?

    Definitely stiffer than the stockers. I have no complaints. I think it's the. 85 setting.

    I plan on setting them at 0 and adding a 1" block in the back before the LBL trip. Would like to find a used set of 886/887s before then.

    Stiffer isn't necessarily a bad thing....

    I have stock coils with billies at 1.75. it definitely stiffened up the ride, but it corners level which is nice on back roads. Eventually I'll get new coils and an AAL in the back to finish the lift.

    Was in a fender bender about 3 months ago. Just got a check for $1500. I am thinking rear bumper and front low pro winch bumper. Which brands would you go for and y? I expect to have to add some cash to get both.

    Do your front bumper first so you can increase your approach angles
