    I don't remember having a sketchy ride when my truck was stock. If anything, the lift made my truck have more vibrations.

    Looks like you've already picked up a mid travel kit yourself. :thumbsup:

    Nice! I saw your pic on TW Live. You'll enjoy it. We'll definitely have to hit up some trails. Btw, I saw that you're in Vegas for NPPL. Just curious, what team does your brother play on?

    Nah, nothing yet. Planning on picking up a few goodies from Engage during their Black Friday sale. Also went down to Oceanside and spoke with Brian from American Motorsports for a possible prototype 2nd gen. 5-lug LT kit. :)

    Hi Steven, been watching your build for a long time {since we have the same truck}. Really awesome build thread. Kinda got a newb question but here it goes, that new / used shock set up is long travel for the back? Seen everyone freaking out here and was wondering what all the fuss was about.

    Ah gotcha. That's cool.

    Thanks. That pic is of the Total Chaos 5-lug Dual 2.0 Shock Hoop setup. It's a rear LT setup where you don't have to cut through the bed and build a rear cage. Still need shackles and rear leaf springs though.

    Sorry for the late reply, but there's a group buy right now on some gears, although, I am unsure which ones work for our trucks.

    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/group-buys/189374-official-group-buy-gears-lockers.html

    Thanks!

    That sounds good. I should be free.

    If it were me, I'd get suspension first. The tires for the 15s would be cheaper. It's your preference. The 16s with a negative offset will stick out more than the 15s with a 0 offset. Just something to keep in mind.
