    I just destroyed my stock leafs. I'll send pics tomorrow. You guys should have seen what my stock Tacoma almost went through. Hopefully we are ordering Monday because I'll be lucky to make it until they come in.

    Some lift, some armor, some scratches..
    I second that!! Had faith in ya KBourque45 :)

    Over the wknd I fully detailed the truck (wash/clay/wax/polish) and took extra time to spray down all the key bolts involved for the install so that its smooth sailing.. they looked pretty good as they were.

    Anything else you guys are planning to do before the install?? (other than destroy your springs ;) lol

    I use PB blaster. Seems to work better on rusty bolts than WD.

    I got rear 5100s coming. Are these adjustable like the fronts. What setting should I put them on with the 5 pack?

    The rear 5100s are not adjustable they are just longer to be able to handle a little more lift.
    They will look similar to what you already have, just new and shinny :D
