    not huge. But a difference yes. You'll have adjustable coil overs so you'll be able to set it where ever you want.

    I've got somewhat of a similar set up, Check out my build and see what you think. After fixing the fenders a bit I still rub at full turn but thats really it. Getting about 14-15 MPG

    Your also on steel wheels which are pretty heavy compared to alloys...I'm going to go with the Toytec 3.5" lift and the AAL. Eventually when I am ready to do some actual wheelin I will replace the leafs all together. I am only going to set the lift to 3"

    yeah, the eibachs for now
    but any lift more than 2.5" will end up with blown boots eventually

    I ran eibachs up front with the AAL in the back and was perfectly level

    and thats a good idea too

    I loved my aal but wheeled it too much

    then the two ends started fighting because of all the wheeling I put them through and they got divorced

    My biggest thing with going with the Toytec 3.5" lift is that it is pre assembled. I can adjust them to whatever I want in the front and I have the option to go a little higher if I end up wanting to. I plan on doing this project myself with a buddy so the least amount of assembling I have to do the better. I know you can get the other lifts assembled for an extra 100 dollars but by the time it's all said and done it will be roughly the same price it seems...

    Yeah I don't plan on doing that just some mild offroading. Once the truck is paid off I plan on doing a lot more. This truck is my only means of transportation right now so I have to get the whole job done in one day.

    Am I going to need to extend the brake lines to do this lift? Also are there any DIY threads about the Toytec lift? I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row before I have to do everything because I have to have this done all in one day.
