I'll admit it I'm cheap and I'm scared to invest $1000 in arms and then more on Fox shocks only to be disappointed. I wish you were closer as I'd like to ride in your truck. If I could go to a coilover system I think I'd be happy with the performance. I just installed a set of Camburg Coilovers on an 08 Tacoma and the ride is very nice. I'm actually jealous of the ride.

It's obvious that I do not have experience with these arms and Fox-brand front shocks. Knowing another on this forum is running them and says they are 3-3.5" up lift-wise.....with only a 1" diff drop being possible, I see CV issues aplenty so I will not take the chance and spend the money. Of course I could be dead wrong and those CV's could hold up. I suppose one could add the arms and shocks and live with the same lift height though gain droop. That would be my plan though the cost doesn't seem like a value to ME as I've lived with X-amount of droop for 7 years. Plus, there's no way in hell I'll have lower shock mounts hanging down to grab onto rocks.
I would have to see a long-arm setup or a bracket lift before I'd invest big bucks. IF the trails you run take you outside the capabilities of the IFS, it's time to snag another vehicle for thoese trails. Jeep JK, old 80, etc.
