Toyota lift installed. It was fairly easy until we ended up with several extra parts left over. Then we went back through the instructions and found several steps we missed. So, we had to tear everything apart again and put the missing peices in. That only took an extra few hours. Lesson learned...don't let Rob read the intructions lol

BIG thanks to Rob for all his hard work and help. Another big thanks to Lee for installing the strut spacer for me.

How about a shot with some flex? Maybe find a curb or something. 😀

I'm really happy with the kit. It gave me the look I wanted, not jacked up but looks like a 4x4. There are no vibrations, no steering issues, and it rides just like stock.

Because you're blind...and I didn't go for the sky high, teenager, small man syndrome lift. I just wanted it to actually look like a 4x4 instead of having to look for the 4x4 badge to tell it apart from the 2WD versions lol

Keep the daily driver reasonable. I've learned when your ankle's broken or sprained, or back hurts you don't want to have to climb up or down too far to get in or out.

I had to reread it to be sure they were a before and after. I just figured they were from a different angle. 😀

Just kidding John, I didn't get in my posting fix today, I just jump on any band wagon I can. 😀 Shoot...my daily driver is a Corolla so I'm not even sure I have the right to post in a thread like this. lol
