Default ToyTec 3" w/pics

I Installed My ToyTec 3" Lift w/ an Alcaan Rear Add-a-Leaf Last weekend in my Apartment parking space. Took me 6 hours. No power tools, no help, and the bottle jack that came with the truck. Oh and some jack stands. But I love it so far. No complaints. The best part about all. It only cost me $200

looks good! I'm sure you had to use a spring comp. too, right? Pretty impressive the fact that you did it in a parking lot with no help!!

I've never installed a spacer kit on a taco, but I know working on a Tundra is quit a job!!

Did you get the Pro Basic Kit or the Basic Kit? How would you rate it driving-wise before/after? I'm thinking of doing this set-up spring break or so. I'll be sure to have plenty of help as I have no experience with lifts. Mild off-roading should be okay right?

Nice truck indian. Looks really good. Tundra driver I got the Pro Basic Kit. I love the way it handles. Its a little stiffer than stock. But its nice for cornering. I deff. reccomend it. As for mild off roading; I havent hed the chance to go yet. I will be though in march. Good luck and have fun with you truck.

Well Ive beat the S#!t out of my truck with my ToyTec. Running through the desert pretty hard and still no probs. I killed my stock TRD Bilsteins after two Dersert trips. I just put on ProComp ES9000's Cant wait to see how they handle. Check out my pics i got new ones up.
