    I can't find a toytec lift with more than 3 inches of lift. This was definitely more than 3. :eek:

    Spindles by themselves give 4 inches of lift if you pair them with 5100's, OME coils or coilovers you can increase the lift.

    This is exactly why I haven't purchased a lift yet. I'm afraid that I'll find something that I feel would have been better suited to my needs.:frusty:

    Yeah, something like that, mostly on the 05-11. I thought about doing this to cancel out the weight of a full plate bumper, but no. Too many deer around these parts and on my trips home. Front plate and a 50" bar are next on list of major mods.

    Yes! This is what I am planning on doing next (I think, lol). He is a TW member and has nothing but rave reviews. I definitely want a winch but don't want all the added weight of the full replacement bumper not to mention the loss in height on the front end (extra weight). He also sells other accessories on his sight, check him out.

    Just got to find a trim piece to replace on the top edge. That will drive me nuts if I don't (I'm a little OCD).

    the loss of height is corrected with a lift lol
    weight ain't bad either. A winch usually about 95 lbs and front bumper is about 150 to 200

    Seems like the consensus is about 3/4 in of drop in front depending on bumper and setup. Problem is I'm only going to get the one at a time (limited budget :annoyed:) So if I get the full bumper and winch then i'll drive around with an annoying amount of rake. If I go suspension first (still considering) It may be next year before I get another mod completed just due to price. I'm thinking that i would gain more usefulness from the winch at this point and time. Maybe I'm wrong. I'll probably never use it, but it's kinda like I said before about having a 4x4. If you don't have it and need it than you up the creek......

    Like someone said, having a 4x4 is better than having a 4x4 with a winch. I asked them why? They said cause you won't be as stupid knowing you can't get out of that without a winch. So you won't do stupid things lol

    now if you had a winch, you would go off and get stuck just because you had a way out. Same thing applies with prerunners and 4x4. You wouldn't go the same way in a prerunner as you would a 4x4
