Default Toytech lift, Do I need to purchase anything else?

Ordering my Toytech lift this week and I wonder do I need to buy anything else. Longer bolts, bushings, etc? Or is this a complete kit?

Thanks

It all depends on which kit you are getting in order, for anyone to suggest what else you need. Some kits include the diff drop and another kit they offer is the Bilstein kit(front only).

Any more than a 2" lift, I would recommend a diff drop kit to lessen the angle of the axles.

I get the 2.5" pro kit without diff-drop. I have heard alot of people saying that 2.5" is ok without the diff drop.

I went without it. Do I have a dire need to get it?

It's a cheap preventive part that helps increase the life of the CV boots.

Can I do this after I install the lift? I was already having a shop put this stuff on this week and the lift is on its way.

if you have a 2wd wheel drive truck is the diff drop still necessary. im not at all familiar with tundras, but want this 2.5 inch to level things out. any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated.

Definitely get the diff drop. I think that kit should include it if I am not mistaken.
