ok so I should be good with just the pucks and hardware?

and my truck is a 5 speed manual...

I also thought about when I did the body lift to raise my engine and tranny also...is that a good Idea or no?

I would black out those wheels, black out your door handles, put the tailgate back on (not sure why you pulled it off) and remove the brackets for those rear mud flaps. Its only like 4 bolts.

If you don't, the bed will crack. You need the tailgate to support the bed sides.

nice rig. alloys would look nice on it but you probably wouldn't want to go wider than 6" with those tires and ive never heard of any 15x6 alloys.

looks like youre in CO. i bet the 33"s are even harder to push when that 3.0 is sucking in high altitude rocky mt air. you should pop some 4.56s or 4.88s in her. that's what i'd do if i had the money and we have similar rigs.

Tires are too small and too skinny. I am running 37's on one truck and 38's on the other. Your truck looks like a cute little 2WD.

If you like it, thats all that counts. I personally just dont like it and never got the point of them unless your tailgate is FUBAR and you need something cheap to put in place of it. As mentioned before, it puts un needed stress on the bed also.

Thanks yo. Mods are in the sig. I like the stance too but the rear passenger side sags a tiny bit and I'm probably the only one that notices it but it drives me nuts. I think my next mod is gonna be a late 80's/early 90's throwback "YO" tailgate lettering and I'm gonna herculine my rockers.

Talk to 4crawler about just getting the 1 or 2" lift. His kit for the 2" is $112, less than ½ of what I paid for mine. Wish I found his site sooner - the quality of the hardware from PA was not "Toyota" spec. In fact, they were standard (9/16 & 1/2") bolts.
4Crawler Gen2 body lifts.

For a quick and simple lift, adding a leaf in the rear and cranking the torsions will get about 1" front, 1½-2" rear.

I'm in the same boat as you are. I Hate the chrome on these toyotas, they make it look tacky and a little cheap. Thats just my opinion though.
I've been thinking about painting the chrome areas myself. Did you just paint over the chrome? or did you have to take it off somehow. Spray paint or some kind of automotive body paint?

BTW your truck looks pretty sweet. Im not digging the 9.50" though. 10.5" would have made it a little more aggressive, but its your rig..not mine.

Its just T-bars in the front and a 1.5" lift shackle in the rear. Here's a pic or 2 of how it looked like a year or so ago with 32's. I'll post some more updated ones too if you'd like, just gotta upload them.
