I would like to see the transmission rebuilt. With the extra torque from the diesel it would probably make sense. Nice build so far!

At 2:46 it looks like the body line on the cab/bed was off before the lift was installed.

Every Toyota body lift I did was just a puck spacer. Those were all 84-89 trucks done in the 90s. These new modern trucks are different. Lol. We always did 2 or 3” body lifts.

You can always add some large washers to shim the mounts to get the body lines straight. On my F250, I had to cut some of the poly bushings to get the cab to sit right with the bed. With the body lift, are you going to raise the transmission more? It could help with engine angle.

So is the daystar a compete kit that also replaces the standard cab mount bushings? I was gonna buy a Energy Suspension cab mount bushing kit as my OEM bushings are toast. Do I need both or just the DayStar?

Does it frustrate you that these kits don't come with metric hardware? Seems ridiculous that they add additional complexity of drilling out holes when they could have sourced the same diameter bolt.

I’ve had multiple body lifts on Toyota’s and never had an issue. I know a guy who did a 6” body lift on his for about 2 yrs. then swapped a 350 into it and built his own custom lift. Sounds like your cab mounts were weak to start with.

My personal opinion you should had went with a 3" bodylift since you went through all the work removing things, you would had gained enough lift with a 3" bodylift that you could had increased bigger tire size without any rubbing most people run off to get suspension lifts thinking they are going to fit on 33" tires till they realize they willbe trimming & chopping to get 33" tires on without rubbing, best setup is to do 3" bodylift & a 3" suspension it will give the clearance to put 33" tires on without the rubbing & no chopping or trimming required.

I'd give a big thumbs down on this kit too if for no other reason than shipping imperial size hardware on a kit that only works on a metric vehicle - especially on a $200+ kit. All the other issues just add to the thumbs down. The only plus is the spacer for the steering.

I've never understood the point to or the benefit of a body lift. Why not just go an inch and a half higher with the suspension lift??? Seems like a lot of work to add stress to lines and connections. Pointless.
