    Installed the AFE intake this week. It adds a nice sound, maybe a tad of torque, but not massively noticeable...

    Nice..! I'm looking at doing the same setup along with their CAT back exhaust as well. :thumbsup:

    Nimby,
    Yes, I have this setup on my Tundra and I love it! On my previous Tundra I had the Bilstein 5100s and they didn't compare to the Eibach IMO. Been very happy with Eibachs on my Tundra

    Same experiences here. Didn't like the way Bilsteins rode on my last vehicle. Eibachs have been better in every way.

    Post some pics when you get the kit on!

    I snapped a screenshot of my wife putting in work. I said if we buy a lift you gotta help me, so she said yes ... Great bonding time!

    We got the front lift complete and it took us 6.5 hours. One hour was trying to thread the bolt through the damn passenger UCA. It went really well minus that dang bolt. Wife was a trooper and dealt with my frustration.

    Eibach Lift

    I purchased the Eibach setup from Toytec and I paid the extra $100 to have the springs installed with the struts.

    JBA UCAs
    Decided on JBAs instead of SPC because the ball joint can be bought at any AutoZone and I loved the color on our ride.

    Tires
    We went with Falken Wildpeaks AT3 love the aggressive look and low noise.

    RRW 9" wheel

    Wife went with Matte Bronze which I absolutely loved. She really likes the TRD black rims, but everyone has them and she wanted to be different

    WallyT4R it rides much better than stock and really eats up potholes. Only complaint I have is I'm rubbing at full turn reverse. I believe it's because of the 9" wheels, but a BMC would fix this. I took before measurements I'll post after a day or two once the suspension settles.

    Turned out very nice..! Well done. The BMC should take care of it... I have 8.5" wheels on mine and the BMC took care of it.

    Out of curiosity, what did the alignment shop set your caster to?

    If it's too low, you might to be able to bump it up, which could potentially eliminate the need to do the BMC. With the caster pushed up, you might have to do the fender liner mod, but that's much easier than a BMC.
