    -RIDE QUALITY: BAD ASS! I can't begin to explain how smooth and buttery this set up feels on the concrete front range highways. The stance is uber stable. Just picked her up last night so off road has not happened yet. The rear end is NOT overly stiff AT ALL with the Toytec add-a-leafs. My last truck had add-a-leafs in the rear but that was with stock TRD bilsteins in the rear and it was a block lift......I believe the overextended shocks were the culprit here and probably are on a lot of the builds people do that complain of the extra leaf creating to much stiffness. My new OME rear shocks acomodate up to a 2.5" lift.

    -I originaly planned to just use the Shackles in the rear, but the weight of the topper motivated me to add an add-a-leaf as well.

    -This picture was taken last night right out of the shop with all my old tires and wheel in the back so there is just a tad more rake to the truck than shown, which is EXACTLY how I wanted it for towing and heavy loads. I couldn't be happier!

    -A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone that contributed to the various lift threads that helped me make a long educated decision in this build!

    -If any of you are on the fence about your build set up and this forum gets a little overwhelming then do what I did! CALL TOYTEC FOR THEIR ADVICE!!! DAVID WAS THE MAN!! There is a reason Toytec is highly respected/ They know what the hell they are doing with that friendly Colorado vibe.

    -More detailed pictures coming soon after I clean her up!!

    Congrats on a flawless install. As I read through your post, I noticed that you didn't mention anything about rubbing or removal. Just wondering. Tundra looks awesome!

    Thanks man! Ya, ZERO rubbing issues! I had these same wheels and tires (for like 3months) on my 2010 that got totaled. When I put them on that truck I had to remove that tiny little front mud flap and that was it. Didn't have to remove or adjust anything with this!!

    looks great, if you gonna line-X the topper, get the front/rear bumpers as well and the grille too. Will look bad ass.

    one thing I would do if it was my truck would be to get rid of that line on the side. Also black out the badges. That and the line-x would look bitchin IMO
