Repair-It

It's funny that I didn't notice until we said "what is that weird thing on top of the front coil over?" It's not objectionably tall though if I could snap my fingers I'd probably put it back to stock. Not sure I feel like doing that. I can slide under the truck, even at the running board. Not with a lot of clearance but I fit. Neat. I brought ramps but with the lift, they were not necessary.

I guess I don't know what the exact lift is. I do know the rear is only 1.5".

Parts guy at the dealer said these do have a factory lift block, but he didn't know how tall. So I may actually have a 3" front and 1" rear lift. Oh, he also said all the rear leaf springs look sad like mine. He didn't think it was really sagging, just sitting how it was intended to. Which seems weird to me but meh.

In addition to the transmission service that I already have a slot for on page 1, adding the following:
[X] TRD RSB (don't know when it will even come in; EDIT: comes in 12/17)
[ ] Stainless braided brake hoses (same - I think they may be made to order)
[X] Undo diff drop and measure angles, check for binding, etc.
[X] Belt, pulley and tensioner
[ ] Do air pump preventative stuff. Or look into it.
[X] Secure exhaust heat shield which is loose and rattling in a couple places. Maybe use some large washers because it seems to have rusted past the existing nut. EDIT: I secured 3 locations but the rattle seems to be the second cat on the pass side (unmonitored). Meh.
[X] Top off front diff after removing diff drop spacers.

Random second gen Tundra that I parked next to at the Toyota dealer: Mine: I also looked at one at work. They all look like this. It's just how they are.

Adjusted the tailgate latch striker to close more firmly against the rubber stop. The gate was kinda loose and clunking around before.
Also I backed up with the tailgate down and noticed the camera angle is still useful.
