WELL, I installed the 2 inch BL tonight ( I will get some pictures up on Friday.) It took about 4 hours with 3 friends. Not too bad, the worse part was the rusted bolts on the steering column. SUCKED !

Anyways, I do need some help... After installing the lift, I noticed my 4WD shifter is not engaging like it use to.... It now grinds and pops into 4Hi and 4 low then back to 2 Hi.... not sure what I can do to correct this???? Any ideas or help. I also noticed that the 4WD shifter is sitting towards the rear of the truck now... before it was in the middle of the opening. (I will take pics of that as well)

My auto transmission works good so far... I also have a slight issue with the second spacer back from the front...the driver side and pass. side were unable to use the supplied BL bolts and nuts. I had to use a few washers to achieve a tight fit for the nut on the driver side,,, and had to use the original Toyota bolt/nut on the pass. side since the BL bolt/nut were too long to use for some strange reason... any ideas?

THANX. Truck looks good though...
