Finally ordered my lift!!!

[01PArunner]

I'm so excited right now because I finally made my decision to order the lift for my 01'! After much debate, I decided to go all the way and order the Sonoran Steel 1.2 system! Steve is a great guy to deal with! He was able to answer all of my questions and I feel that his kit is a really good value for everything that is included in it. I hope to have it installed by Memorial Day weekend. I can hardly wait!!!!:guitar3:

Yep. Got it aligned which helped. It's weird. It's higher, but the body roll feels less for general cornering. I went around a sharp corner yesterday and it felt a bit scary. I like the lift. I like sitting up higher and I like being different than stock. I'm hoping to try it out on some minor trails this week.

To be completely honest, I really didn't need it. It was something that I wanted to do and I'm glad I did. But lately I've been thinking a lot about being content with what I have and my stocker was just fine. It can be really frustrating being stuck in college when I want to be out throwing mud all over the place in my 4runner (of course, respecting the environment and treading lightly). For me, this is a first step to something that is going to take years to complete. I can't drop a whole bunch on tires, wheels, lift, lights, etc all at once. Being that my stock suspension was getting worn, the lift was a logical first step for me. I'm enjoying the new set up but I do have a ways to go before my build is complete.

Installing the lift was a lot of fun. It's sort of like when I got my muffler - every time I get in my truck, I enjoy it a little bit more. This is a little immature, but I went to dairy queen the other night and parked right next to a stock 4th gen. It seemed like I was towering over his rig (I caught him checking it out). I don't know. It was just kind of cool to see the difference and I'm happy with my purchase. I'm sure you will be too.
