After seeing some YouTube installs, the strut mount area was suppose to sit behind the strut shaft bolt 🤷🏻‍♂️. I wanted to relieve the stress on the plastic clips

To me they feel like a significant improvement.

Just installed the Ark Splash Guards and I had to trim about 1/4” above both strut towers. I also modified three of the holes. Is this normal? Overall they give more coverage but I was expecting a better fit.

Did you change the rear suspension?

Yeh I went home and checked again. They lost a customer.

I think it’s good for me. I also have two 60# sandbags in the rear of the bed. Stock tires 265/65/18 in the pic. Getting Nokian 265/70/18 so just 1” taller. I feel like the ride quality has also improved significantly

Are you still able to have a profile saved locally on the truck? When I opted out it would not allow for a profile.

Here’s a better pic of the slight rake after an alignment. As for tires, I’ve decided to go with Nokian Outpost 265/70/18. Subtle changes.

I installed bilstein 5100s this weekend at the 1” (lowest) setting with a total lift of 1.25”. Just got back from the alignment shop and had to argue about the cam bolt torque specs. The tech said “I tighten by feel”. Then I started down the rabbit hole on alignment specs. Seems to drive fine...

Just installed 5100s in the front. Set them at 1” (lowest lift). Overall lift was 1.25” in the front. Exactly what I was looking to do. Now there’s a 3/4” rake. I noticed an improvement in ride quality. Just ordered the rears too.

What’s the spare size? 175/90/18?

Is it also necessary to call via SOS button and opt-out from toyota connected services?

How is your infotainment functionality. I noticed that my profile was not saving and having issues with the key card.

I reactivated the free connected services for now. After talking to the rep they stated that it IS possible to be offline and still have a saved profile Locally. There is also the option to leave it connected without paying a subscription. I will eventually opt for offline

I opted out of Toyotas connected services via SOS button yesterday. The button went dark and I also received an email confirmation. The issue I am having is that profiles setting are no longer saved or available. Are you required to subscribe in order to use profiles?
