My only complaint about this product is the installation instructions. When they say to put spacers on the skid plate, they mean the front skid plate. When installing a differential on the TRD Off-Road, two skid plates are used. I don't know why people say it's hard. Not much different from stock. What makes your truck ride difficult is that after installing the lift, you add a heavier load strap e-tire. I rode lift only for 2 weeks and the ride was great, I put on big tires and the dealer pumped in 50 pounds of air and sprung until I depressurized. For those wondering about tire size, I went with Method 16x8 wheels and Cooper STT Pro 285/75/16. The only chafing was the front fenders in reverse. Flaps removed and no problems. I ended up with 2" extra blades instead of the blocks provided, very happy with the performance and the lack of a block wrap around the axles.
