Re: Made a decision

With so many people getting lifts the air is starting to get thin up here. Congrats

Re: Made a decision

Sounds good. I really like the ToyTec rear springs in mine.

Looking forward to pics when you get things installed

Re: Made a decision

And the ride performance ain't that bad either. This is the way Toyota should have built them in the first place. But then I guess the soccer moms might twist an ankle getting out at the mall. LOL

Re: Made a decision
