Glad you think so!

That's what happened to me too. It was a pretty steep rake to the front with the new springs. I let mine settle in for a few weeks then got the front struts that measured out to what i thought would still give me a forward rake of about 1/2 - 3/4" and thats what it turned out to be (after the front alignment was done.)

Thinking about going with the Bilstein OME 2-2.5” coilovers. Did you replace your upper control arms?

Much appreciated, thank you!

Not so far!

Check with the folks at TEQ, but I'm pretty sure they make 4R lights

From my old worn out shocks, yes. Just spent several days on poorly maintained forestry roads and the ride difference is amazing. Way better.

Mines not 4x4. You can get different shocks, i went with the 6112 because i didn't want to mess around with the springs, this came all assembled as a completed strut.

I got slightly more lift than the documentation said. Thats why i did the rears first, let them settled in, then i did the front. The stance is balanced, with about .5" higher in the rear.

You don't hack up the wiring harness. Its all plug and play. Worst thing you are doing is tapping wires.

Not 100% sure what you are asking...the cable holds it up quite well and has since 2003. The bracket holds the tire in place from bouncing around left and right.

You are welcome!

The difference between these and stock is huge. They are almost too bright! Major upgrade for sure. The light is whiter than the stock yellow bulbs. The high beams are very centered and they shoot far far off into the distance. I like them. Could they be a little more dispersed like i have in my other vehicles, yes but these are designed to shoot down the trail so i think the tradeoff is distance vs spread, which in our case is fine. The light cutoff is very dramatic on low beams, and they do project a sort of odd, uneven light pattern along the top but I'll take it due to the huge increase in light output - i got these mainly to keep the wife safe at night when she'd driving the truck - to be seen and to see better, and to that end i would say mission accomplished. There is a lot of wiring that comes along with the lights, and I question some of the long term viability and waterproofing of the connections over time, thats my one major concern with this upgrade since the engine bay gets pretty wet when it rains.

So i don't have experience with your setup, I'm going from the OEM shocks to the 6112's so take my assessment with a grain of salt here, but I think the ride is great. Over bumps and things the truck recovers very quickly and overall the truck feels way more solid (I also added Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT Tire Size: 265/75R16 which have made a big difference.) But the best feedback i can give you is from my wife, who drives the truck all the time, she thinks it rides much better, feels more solid and isn't bouncy or harsh at all. Hope that helps some.

No, not stock. I wasn't really planning on lifting it but once I replaced the rear leaf springs with heavier duty General Springs and Bilstein 5100's it gave me almost a 3" boost in the back (I was going for what I call "stock plus" at the time) so I wanted to level the front out a little bit. It worked out ok, because then I went with slightly bigger tires also: Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT Tire Size: 265/75R16. You can adjust the 6112's to the height you want, you can go stock height is my understanding.

I want to say between 2 or 3 months from the time I ordered it until it arrived.

I think so, but check with the folks at @shocksurplus first, thats where I got mine

Thank you!

Not planning on installing a keyless remote right now, sorry!

Thanks!! Amazon has them: amzn.to/4alx4u7

Metal parts and joints can get dry over time as can bushings. You can lubricate them with oil or sprays.

@@TheTacomaGuyDIY what type of spray or lubricant? Any names in particular?

You can try plain old WD-40 or WD-40 Silicone Spray, or even PB Blaster. Don't go crazy with it, try a little at a time in targeted areas. Sprays can collect more dirt which could end up exacerbating the problem in the long run.
