bigjokerinthebox66 may have some regrets.

For that price it must be the PC Stage I. I priced that kit w/install locally and the best price I could get was $2200 otd. My suggestion is buy the kit seperately (from 4wheelonline.com or ebay) and have a local shop install it for you. As far as flaws go, the only flaw with the kit (that I'm aware of) is the powdercoating on the spindles will eventually corrode. You stated that you have a 4.7. What cab size and is it 4wd?

Gas mileage will vary depending on size of tire/rims. Also in my research it can also depend on what gear ratio you have for the 4.7 . I too have the 4.7 it's a limited with the gear ratio of 4.1... so now I'm really considering maybe wait on the lift. I don't want to get 10 mpg or lower. I believe most of the people here have the bigger Tundra's with the 5.7 engine and a gear ratio of 4.3.... and they are reporting a 4-5 mpg loss...

Please anyone feel free to correct me............ This is just what I have gathered from my readings....

I'm still trying to find out what tires/rims these are ....http://procompnow.com/Dealer%20Order/stage2TF.jpg

I've lost about 3 mpg...

To the OP, $2300 (lift kit and labor) is not THAT bad of a quote from the Toyota shop. If you are not comfortable with any local, smaller shops around you, then it wouldn't be a bad idea to have Toyota experts do the install....just my opinion.

yeah, but he has a 4.7

I would take a wild guess and say a 6" lifted CM 4.7 would get < 8 mpg. Anybody else want to chime in?
