    It's hit or miss from what I've been reading. Most issues I've read have been associated with bracket lifts >5-6". Not much from just leveling. I'll be installing my DirtKingFab/Fox setup on my 18' w/TSS over Thanksgiving break. It should be roughly a 3/1.5" lift before tires. I'll post up the results when I'm done.

    Thanks everyone for responding! I sure am hoping I won't have any issues. Next week I'm having the Toytec boss 3/1 with Toytec UCA installed with 295 60 20. Thanks again for the response!

    Thanks! That red looks great. Thanks for the reply and being that you have the same exact model as me is definitely reassuring.

    Had to remove mudflaps and small flap in the front. Trimmed a tiny piece off the inner fender liner with a box cutter. Other than that, good to go.

    Oh there was a lot of drilling involved. I was not present to watch that happen.

    And I bought it second hand from another local who’s truck got totaled. Not sure what the sticker is on it, but I’m sure it’s hefty. Feel free to PM me if you want dudes contact info that makes them.

    5 inch Zone lift. No issues at all with TSS. I was hesitant to lift due to all the people saying they had issues, but all good.
