Installation was easy. I watched a YouTube video before installing it to familiarize myself before taking the dash apart. It comes with installation instructions.
Finished installing 3” TRD lift kit. Used all components supplied in kit with exception of rear springs and rear Panhard bar. I opted to use icon 80 series rear springs instead of TRD spacer. In front I set clip to upper slot due to hybrid model which is consistent with TRD instructions. I used DR KDSS panhard bar bracket to correct panhard bar angle. I did not delete front spoiler. It had an interference with sway bar brackets. After some trimming of spoiler interference no longer an issue. I will schedule alignment soon.

@turbo8 See the attached pdf with all part numbers and another pdf with all torque specs. For the TRE sleeves, I think you will need to swap out TREs as well.
I was shopping for either GFC, proj M, tune outdoor M1, fiberglass camper (ARE, Leer, Century) and SmartCap. Decided to go with SmartCap as I did not wanted weight of full time camper on rig like FWC Proj M. Cost was another factor. I wanted something that is well built to handle Offroading. SmartCap is well built and weighs 266lbs and dynamic roof load 350 lbs. It also has various roof rack options. I don’t plan to a roof top tent as I can setup camping inside or use ground tent. I went with adventure option which comes with metal gullwings doors. So far I like. Assembly was good to as long as floor is leveled. Three people was able to install it on it. Still waiting for t harness to finish wiring third brake light.
Look forward to more pics as your build progresses...... we're thinking much alike... Decked is in my future - debating the slideout for it - and then a smartcap Defender seems perfect.... but first suspension and 37's....
