    Just pulled the trigger on my rear lift. I decided to go with Toytec lifts heavy duty rear springs paired with their Aluma series 2.0 boss rear shocks. After all the reading and researching this seemed to suit my needs for the type of off-roading that I like to do and hopeful future camping trips I plan on taking.

    feel free to comment on ur thoughts positive or negative I wanna hear other people’s experience with this set up

    If you have to do it again or fix it later, disconnect the shocks and swaybar and that axle will drop down a LOT easier. Didn't need a jack or anything.

    Also, be careful using the bump stop as a jack point, I worry it might shift on you. (Sorry not trying to be internet nanny just providing some safe work observations) :)

    Looks good man!

    thanks! It’s cool ya we figured out that disconnecting the sway bar made it a lot easier! Lol. If it wasn’t for shock top but being rusted I think it would have been a lot faster to do
