@rocky_mtn_trd Don't get me started bro. The wife and I are looking at Co Springs. We've had enough of the BS here.

 

Well it's a beautiful place to live. Lived there my entire life with the exception of the past 4 years. Bought a house and moved closer to work to cut the commute in half, but I'm still technically in El Paso county about as north as you can get.

 

Nice, looks good bro.

 

Looks good as is!!!

 

Beautiful - how's the ride compare to stock?

 

Curious as well.

 

Seems a little stiffer than the TRD shocks, but I've only put 100 miles on it. I'm going to double check the front ride height tomorrow because I think it's sitting a bit high in front. Removing a bit of preload should soften it up a bit.

 

I finally got those GOD DAMNED chrome door handles swapped so she's looking good now. Here are some pics from the hills above Sparks, NV






I tested the flex a bit for fun and there is very little in the front (likely due to the sway bar). Unfortunately I didn't get any pics of the right front, but it basically doesn't move. The rear did well though!



I even had a rather cute helper to clean up the mess.

 

What size tires are those, truck is looking great.

 

275/70/18 Thanks!

 

Of course, it is the best color...so...

 

Did you have any issues with the dual exhaust and the leaf springs after you did the shackles? I noticed mine were touching when I had the wheels off but I don't think I'll have enough droop to have a problem....

 

I took a peak and they were touching.

 

Took a few more pics in the Reno hills Saturday evening. I think I'm done now since this isn't a build thread lol

 

4x4 ball joint press tool will be your friend when you do this. They will flex inward quite a bit before they will begin to actually come out. I actually thought I was damaging them when I changed mine out, but it takes a good amount of force to press them out.

 

I've seen that technique before. I also have a 20 ton press in my shop that I could use, but would need to pull the springs to use that.

 

Yea the press would certainly get them out haha I don't have one and was able to get them out just having the truck on jack stands.

 

Tundra looks great! Nice pics too

 

Great job. Truck looks amazing

 

Thanks for those pics.Still struggling with what type of lift to do on my Plat.I'm beginning to understand that going the cheap route (spacers) might lead to some regret.Wondering if the Toytech/Eibach might be a good compromise.

 

Those Reno hills pics are AMAZING!!!!

 

I feel ya. I have a LRO 3/1 spacer lift still sitting in my garage. Decided to do it "right" the first time and be done with it.

 

Do it. You won't regret it.

 

Any info on how you remedied them touching?

 

Does this affect, in any way the factory warranty?

 

Oh truck looks killer dude!

 

Looks so freaking good man! Love it

 

I didn’t remedy it. I’m not too worried about it.
