Thumbs up got my lift installed on my D cab

I finally got my lift installed on my Double Cab this past week, it looks great and rides so much better now! I went with OME 881 coils, Bilstein 5100 series shocks set to 0 and Wheelers Off-road rear springs. I was a little irritated to find out that Bilstein does not ship their front shocks with bushings or boots anymore. I called them, they said no boots needed and to re-use the old bushings, easier said than done when you have to cut them out to get the upper shock mounts off! Anyway, everywhere I looked wanted $20 + $15 for shipping for shock stem bushings, which is ridiculous considering the part #s are the same as a Gabriel set that MSRP for $7. I ended up finding these on Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CPCD9Y/...0_pd_re_dt_dt3 I had to hone the bushings out to ½” to get them over the shock stems and I reused the Toyota washers but they worked perfectly, and with 2 day shipping were only $15. Anyway I could not be happier with how it rides now, Im going to put some miles on it and let it all settle in the rest of the way before I get an alignment.
