    Truck sitting uneven after lift... How to fix?

    Now 10 months after installing my OME Lift on my 05 Tacoma Quad Cab, it seems to be about 1/2" - 3/4" low on the driver's side front. Actually, the truck seemed a bit uneven before the lift. Any thoughts on how to even things up? I see TRDParts4U has OME 5mm Trim Spacers. Is that for leveling...

    Battery Selection - Odyssey 2150C / DieHard Platinum Group 31

    My factory battery lately is cause for concern. With all my electronics and accessories tied into it, if I let the truck sit for a week or so (which is common) the battery is 99% drained and obviously I can't start it. From what I have read, this is just bad for a high-cycle starting battery...
