    Hi there!

    I was reading up on some products out there about available lowering kits. Most of them are a little bit more drastic than others. Like the TRD, you lose the payload capability once you install the kit. I want to lower/level the vehicle about 1-2" and increase the payload at the same time.

    As for the fender flares, I really like the Honey D. But I do not like the idea of drilling holes and cutting parts. I have not seen the 2" version to compare with all the 4" that's being posted.

    Air design was the next option, but I have to see it on a on an oem height atleast to make a sound judgement call.

    The truck will be my DD, work and tow vehicle.

    Phase 1 (in the works)

    Leer topper (should be in by next week)
    Install an 80/20 skeleton to reinforce topper
    Install 4 linear actuators to lift the topper
    Install rails on both cab and topper to accept legs for crossbars/platform
    Upfit the inside of the bed/topper

    Phase 2

    Add rear suspension leveler (air spring, jounce style spring, roadmaster active or Torklift)

    Phase 3

    18x9 wheels -12
    285.65.18
    Color match fender flares (Honey D 2" to be modified for no drill installation)
    LED upgrades

    Phase 4

    Any input and pointing me to the right direction will be a great help!

    Thanks!
