    Hey everyone, so far I have learned a lot from the forum but can't find a few answers.
    I have a wind chill pearl 26 Limited coming in with the TRD off road package and a bunch of other packages. All trim will be blacked out. I am looking to add a lift and run 35s. I want to go with the TRD lift installed at a dealer just to keep everything covered by Toyota.
    Is anyone running the TRD lift and are you happy with it?
    I am also thinking about the bed step but not sure if I like the look under the left side of the bumper when tucked. Any recommendations or photos would be great.

    Thanks,
    Charlie

    Welcome to the forum.
    Your blacked-out trim refers to the Nightshade package.

    The step is nice, especially if you have the lift and running the bigger tires.
    Although you could get it cheaper and install it yourself if that is a concern.

    Thanks for the info and the pic. The step looks pretty clean and Ive heard it helps. I'm probably gonna add it. will definitely look into the auto start eliminator, I hate that feature lol.

    if your just running you truck on pavement you'll be happy with the lift as is. If your going to be doing some off-roading you should be fine (the weekend hunting trips, logging roads, etc.). Anything more than that you'll probably want to upgrade the components past what Toyota would do. For the majority, what Toyota offers is more than enough.

    Welcome and enjoy!
