    Clean throttle body and a new fuel filter. Engine's running much nicer and the gas mileage is back up from 12.5 :D

    I really like the stance...I'm seriously considering pretty much the same suspension setup but with 2" Toytec AAL's instead

    Do you have the front shocks on the lowest setting with the Eibach coils?

    Yeah I lowered the bilstein's to 0" after I got the eibachs put on although I've heard some people put them on the first setting too. I wish I had gotten a better AAL so it will be a great stance with the 2" in the back.

    Hey whats up man? Ur truck is lookin real sweet. I wondered if those seat covers were the taupe color in the center? I have an 03 xcab, same colors, and i cant tell if taupe is a good match or if u had a different color that you wished you got...
    One last question since you have been through the process. I get lost in the list of parts that are required for a suspension upgrade? If i want like a 2.5 or three inch lift what do I need for front and rear? I probably should have picked up on it reading ur thread but i dont know what all the parts are or mean, example: 1.5 wheelers ..

    Thanks buddy

    Hey everyone big question to ask. is the back suspension on a 2001 tacoma 2wd prerunner higher than the front because of the payload you put in the back? And if so by how much is there a difference?
