TRD 4X4 Suspension-pics

Well, I finally got my TRD shocks and 4X4 springs installed yesterday(and TRD exhaust). The lift is very noticeable over the stock 4X2 set up but of course it isn't a "lift" per se. This is as high as my rig will be going, unless I want to park it outside since I have about an inch of garage door clearance left. Although the additional height is nice, the real reason I wanted to do this was to improve handling, and it has done that nicely. It will probably take a couple of days to get totally used to. The acceleration squat, brake dive, and body roll on turns are all noticeably reduced. I was concerned that the ride might be too stiff on bumps, etc. but it isn't a rough ride by any means. Still a very smooth ride, but improved handling overall...so, I've accomplished what I set out to do. Also had a TRD exhaust installed at the same time (free labor with the suspension work) which I am also very happy with. Didn't want anything too loud but just adds a nice middle of the road tone with the CAI combo. Here are some pics.
