    I have a full OEM 3" lift with dakar leafs, have the small spacer on the front coils to help with bumper. The drive shaft drop spacers. I had a diff drop and removed did nothing for me. I did just switch out me rear OME shocks for longer Billies (only because did shackle flip). I have front and rear bumpers, whinch, and full skids. I still say rides better when i only had my leveling kit.

    I did most the install by myself. Its really strait forward, not hard, just takes some time. (had access to a lift which is huge help)

    When is the next mod day? I've got my lift parts in the garage. I'm fighting the urge to do it myself. I do have 2 Jack stands and 2 floor jacks but I still think I'm going to get in over my head. It took me 4 hours just to do the wheel spacers by myself...

    Edit: I'm in Raleigh near Wake Forest but as long as the end result of the mods gets me a driveable taco I can go wherever the knowledge is. I'll bring the beer...

    There used to be a place that did just that in Durham. They since closed after several accidents canceled their insurance. One of those high demand things that's hard to make a business of. Last I checked it was still empty.

    Maybe Bens shop is available cheap.

    Its way out of everyone's way, but I have a part of the building I work at that was dead space and the owner let me put a old lift in. But if a time can be worked out (i think I get about three free hours a week maybe) its open for fellow Taco owners (some stipulations apply). Yes im in Wilmington so still decent hike for everyone. Yes there is air tools as well
