    Any of you local guys hear from Boone recently? Seems he's dropped off the map.

    So let's say I get the billy's up front. Can I use stock coils or do I need to replace those? I'm at 110k miles (second owner, bought it about a month ago. Nothing on carfax says they were replaced, so I am assuming stock). Then I can get a AAL on the back? Would this be level or do I need something else? Another option I see is to do Billy's all the way around. Does this level the truck as well?

    Basically I want to lift and level the truck for no more than $500 installed. Anything else and I'll have to put it on hold until something 'needs replacing' so I convince the wife it is a necessary expense.

    The foot switch is awesome!!!! No need to let go of the wheel, or juggle hands to try to turn off the high beams.

    Wow, good eye!

    Pretty straight forward actually.
    Put your image on a flash drive, plug it in and pull up the image (you have to be in "parked" mode to view images. )
    Select the image and hit the save button. You can only save one image to the head unit.
    Then go into your Theme settings and set your background. Swipe right to left among the options to see the end. The last one is your pic.
    For backgrounds you can do a google image search. "TRD radio background" or what ever you like.

    Yep you would ride level.
    Billies in the front with stock springs have a adjustable ring that the spring sits on. More preload = more lift, up to 2.5" or so. Extra weight (bumper, winch) and you need new springs.
    Shocks do not provide lift in the rear, just dampening. You can go blocks or more arch. Options are new leaf springs, add a leaf (AAL) or blocks. Longer shocks are needed if your travel exceeds stock or you can blow out the shocks. The alternative is bigger bumps and limit straps. (Bumps are Good for shock survival either way)
