    Yea, I mostly want it for looks. Not much crazy off roading spots here in Hawaii. I just want some nice bug rims and tires. I am afraid of the cv angles. I'll definitely do the ecgs bearing swap. How are the upper a arm bushings holding up? No cracks. I'm looking at the RC 3.5 with M1 kit.

    Unless this lift uses a drop bracket, CV angles will be excessive.

    I also don't mind the ride of my RC lift. I was wondering if I was the only one however that noticed that the front looks raked a little lol I have the RC leaf pack as well.

    I just got the 3.5 lift in the mail from fedex it’s the stage 2 lift damn there are some haters here first off I couldn’t find anything in stock for my Tacoma other then old man emu lift an honestly I’ve never heard of that guy, but I’ve seen rough country lifts always beat to hell out here in So Cal so I didn’t see any harm in them. Mine came with front upper control arms, front coils an struts, rough country leaf springs and diff drop. I’ve had a 2020 Tacoma with just the level kit an blocks in the rear before but stiff ride looked great but I wanted to do things right this time around an if these shocks do good I’m planning on going to there stage 3 shocks for replacement but until then I will let you know how these feel in a couple weeks also I’m running 285/70r17 Toyo m/t’s yes I know m/t’s suck but on a serious note when I bought my 2020 I got about 60k miles on them with 30% tread left also took a full screwdriver into the tread an had no leak so my wife feels safe with them picked up nails to an never had anything get thru them so better safe then sorry. Will let you all know how the 2023 taco feels soon
