I was thinking about getting the 1" body lift from http://www.sky-manufacturing.com/ but what else do I need to completely install???

1. radiator mounts?
2. steering?
3. gas tank filler neck?
4. bumper brackets?

am I missing any thing?

I have looked at his site but it doesnt really tell me what I need and dont need cuz I want to keep it cheap and simple and only do what is required

if you email him and get the kit from him he will steer you in the right direction.. i tihnk for a 1 inch lift when i reseached it you only needed the body lift and hardware because there is more than enough play for it ... 2 inch + you start needing things... if you have a automatic you might need something

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.

Yeah I like your grill a lot!

Maybe put some black on those rims and you are set man. Like the truck. x2 for the net in the back!

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.

bigt

NO you dont need to raise the tranny or engine just do the 1 inch body lift and your truck will look really nice.... black out some more stugg put that tire in the bed put the tail gate back on and get some bumpers!!!!

gonna have to beat the ladys off with a stick with a yota that clean

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.

I already have factory 4.56:1 gears and she does really good being as old as she is and how many miles she has

what does every one have against the net gate I like it

BAZ

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.

hey "BAZ" I really like the stance on your truck what do you got on that thing

BAZ

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.
