Glad I found this thread even though my needs currently are small. Am in SF, and want to have a 1" diff drop removed from my 2009. Lift up front only totals 2.5" (or maybe less after slight sag) and I think I've come down on the side of "No i don't want/need it". There's interesting debate...

new TE owner in CA Hi folks, I'm new to the forum here. First post in fact! Seemed appropriate: I bought an '09 Trail Edition last month in San Diego. White, just 66k mi on it. (yeah, I know right?) Everything seems to function just fine, though it hasn't been offroad yet. (will soon)...
