i used 2 top out spacers, the back is a little bit higher cuz the LC coils gave it a good bit of lift (little over 3"), but not too much...i like the raked look

He's running a 2" BL, there's not enough to get rid of the gap. I had to cut and re-weld the brackets with 1 1/2" BL, just make sure that extra braces are added to compensate for the additional leverage being placed on them.
As for the rims, they are the best looking factory rims made, should be easy to sell....

Looks Good! Where did you get the lift? Is it the TRD Springs and Shocks? How the Street Ride? How long was the install? Any Front and Rear Spring shock pics
Thanx

I pieced the lift together slowly here goes the list:
Tundra coils and Rear shocks from Toyota of Dallas
LC coils used
Front struts used off ebay
e-brake bracket from another member who didnt need it
Diff drop and extended brake line from Sonoran Steel
Top Out spacers from Bamachem
Install was longer than usual due to the lack of tools we had, i'd say myabe 7 to 8 hours total...the shocks up front are from a 2003 DC TRD taco and the springs are TRD tundra springs mentioned in the tundra threads...the ride is great...i will take some pics of the front and rear setups this afternoon as she's about to be washed and waxed
And thanks to everybody for the nice comments
