Hey guys,

Figured I'd throw my truck up here to show off some. Recently installed the zone 4" lift with 3" rear coils and set my bils to 1.4 in the front. I have not taken any measurements but plan on doing that later this afternoon. I put about 300 miles on since the lift has been on so everything should be about settled. Overall, the hardest part was dropping the differential as the bolts were just a real PIA to reach. But I'm very happy with how it came out...I did take a good hit on my MPGs, but that was expected. I have not had the speedo recalibrated yet for the 35" tires.. anyways, here's some pics, excuse the dirty truck, I haven't had time to clean it up yet.

I've also got the OEM sport hood decals to put on it, I think that'll set it off too.

Looks great. I did the same lift to my 16 sport a month ago. Still running stock tires. What size Toyo's are they?

Love it. My truck is at the shop now should be picking it up this afternoon with the same lift set up and bils up front at 1.4". I'll be posting pics in my own thread later as to not steal yours haha. I have a white truck too and I don't have the sport hood but I'm thinking of doing a matte black flag on the center part of the hood.

I did the same thing.... 4" BDS with 3" rear coils, with Bilsteins at 1.4 with 35" tires. My speedometer is only 3mph slow. So, if my speedo says I'm going 67, I'm actually doing 70mph. I compared it to 3 different GPS apps on my phone. It wasn't worth the $300 that the lift shop wanted to charge me to calibrate it.

Flares I got off amazon. They're bushwackers. I had a local shop paint them

I have the same lift and the same truck. Have you thought about doing the zone upper control arms well worth the money.

That looks great brother. Nice touch with the black tow hooks.

Did you replace your grill with the honeycomb one or just black it out?
