    I had the pleasure of picking up my buddys truck from the shop after a few goodies were installed. He has the '17 Cement DC Pro. He ordered the entire CB setup. The shims (x2), +3 shackles and tie rod ends. He also went with the TRD replacement BAMuffler. Methods and Ridge Grapplers 305/55/20. Like most of the Tundra heads on here, I have spoken to Keith and Dave a few different times. Their customer service reviews are spot on.

    Everyone knows how that the CB products are gorgeous and quality and now I can finally say I agree with first hand experience. The stance with the shims and the shackles is perfection. The pictures I took last night do no justice compared to what the truck actually looks like in real life. The stand out product to me, were the tie rod ends. I have driven my truck without them for a few thousand miles. Once I drove the Pro, I knew instantly that the CB steering kit had to be moved to the top of my list of NEEDS. The steering is a whole hell of a lot more responsive, crisp and tight. I have searched and not seen a whole lot about them as far as reviews. But, they felt great. It was a similar feeling to a sports car type feedback at the wheel. I also want to add that it might make the handling better. Take that with a grain of salt as I am still in awe. I will definitely be purchasing these in the near future. I just hope i get similar results as I am lifted a tad more.

    I have the crewmax and can honestly say that the DC was refreshing to drive. I would say for daily driving a DC is perfect for it. They are just slightly smaller and feel great driving in traffic as opposed to my crewmax.

    The TRD Replacement by Keith is also a wonderful system. Compared to my budget dump, its more tame, but I feel its a classier.

    As for all reviews this is my personal opinion.

    Curious why the DC felt better in traffic? The total length of them are the same.

    Couldn't agree more! I'm also running CBs and BAmufflers on my Pro, great products and great dudes to work with!

    After driving the crewmax around and jumping in the DC, it just felt more daily friendly. Maybe it was just in my head, and maybe its the difference in lifts.

    Darker front window tint and getting rid of the chrome wheel centers would be small finishing touches that would set that truck onto another level IMO. Regardless, looks great! I honestly don't know if I've seen an MGM DC before...they're all CrewMax =\

    And yes Keith’s systems are BA!
    I want to hear the budget side exit. Wish someone local gets one!

    I’m pretty sure it’s for strength and some travel.
