I am ITCHIN' to get this stuff on and hit some new trails! My avatar is at Hollister's "Frame Twister". The mudflaps are still on my truck at this point. Factory stance wasn't enough to allow me thru. I backed out - got stuck, pushed mudflaps up against the tires and BINGO...no more mudflaps!
The Lesson here - MORE GROUND CLEARANCE IS REQUIRED - Honey, where's the checkbook. "I know a lift is expensive...But, how many $85.00 mudflaps do we have to go thru before we do the right thing for "OUR" truck? - The key here is to assume dual ownership, this way it invokes personal involvement and concern and ultimately a yes response. - hee hee

Matt, I have the Taco valved ones and I haven't seen a reason to revalve them. I have a TJM T15 too. I figure that when it comes time to rebuild them I will revalve them but only because it is a popular thing to do I guess, not because I have noticed that it needs it. Mine have about 15-20K on them I think. mine also have the 650 lb/in spings as opposed to the 675 lb/in ones that come in the new taco models.

Are you getting the SAWs from that guy on Tacoma Territory? I just saw those after your post here. Great find.
