Adding that stuff doesn't void the warranty?

Be careful some dealers will give you a big hassle on anything that goes wrong with the truck which could include the driveline or even the power windows or something assinine like that.

But clearly the windows and the suspension have a lot in common. They cannot work w/o each other

Keep in mind, some dealerships are offering lift install these days. He should not have problems w/ that. By law it only affects his suspension warranty.

They can claim the driveline can be affected by a lift but if they do the install then you might be in the clear. Not all dealerships are like this but I'm saying that historically they will put an owner through the wringer trying to not have to pay for warrantee work and they don't respect that law all the time regarding warranties.

Dont know about toyota but DORF (ford) is notorious for things like that. 'Your new lifted 'stiffer' suspension caused your stereo to go out'....

I have the 3" Revtek lift with an add-a-leaf on my 05 and it pretty much leveled it out. I think the add-a-leaf and 1" block will leave your truck with the ass end a little high same as the stock stance. Is that what you are looking for?

Sway-Away with add-a-leaf and 1" block

the front coilover can be adjusted from lower than stock to 3" above. Wheeler's told me the rear will be between 1.5-2" above stock with the leaf and block. I'll try to make it as level as possible.

By the way, Wheeler's Off-Road is awesome. I talked to them for 20 minutes asking them about the 10-leaf pack vs. add-a-leaf. I definitely want to retain stock towing capacity (the reason I bought the truck). The 10-leaf decreases this.

Also, what are people running for rear shocks?

I just picked up my 06 dc off-road the other day. I would like to see some pics of yours when you get everything installed on it.

Thanks,
Shawn

I ordered them, but they are WAY too much shock for daily driving with occasional off-roading. I'm waiting for the Bilstein 5100's made for a 1-2" lift.
