    So i took to installing my air shocks, and removing the extra leafs from the back. Came out way better than i hoped.

    See for yourself!!

    Thx Guys.

    Thanks Nvrenufedge, the one thing i dont like about them.... is the stupid looking center caps... i wan some with the toyota emblem on them. My buddy at a Toyota Dealership is looking into it for me!

    Toyo Trucker, I will post some pics off the setup very soon. Gonna take them tomorrow. As son as i get my hands on my gf's camera! :D

    And Yogo, the ride quality is way better than it was before! I little softer... but smoother. I think most of it is because the old shocks i removed were a little weak.

    But all in all the truck sits about 2" lower in the back... which makes it sit level now. And if i let more air out of the shocks it sits down about another 1.5". Very easy drop to do yourself with a good look in the end!

    I had done spindles and blocks a while back. To de leaf it with the air shocks i was about 2.5 hours. Thats for both sides.

    Thx guys!
