tuff country lift kit?

I just ordered this lift kit for my 93 xcab truck and wondering if anyone has any problem with it?
It came out to like $1100 for the kit because I live in Hawaii. But overall very excited.

I almost went with it for my 4Runner, but I didn't want a full 4" lift. But it was one of the nicer ones I found. Haven't heard anything bad. Don't forget to tighten everything down good, and then go back a month later and do it again.

Blocks in the rear are fine depending on how you use your truck. Don't worry about it.

If you are not wheeling hard you won't notice the blocks. If you spend a lot of time in 4lo off road you probably will.

The bracket kits aren't the strongest but again, if you are not rock crawling you are fine.

yes you can put on the steering stabilizer without lifting it. just take off the skid plate.

I got the Old man emu and it works great. noticed stiffer steering just slightly but better offroad stability as well as on the highway.
