Another 4x2 lifted.... Click for pics and details...
Wanted to say Hi and post some pics of my truck stock and lifted for reference. I love the forum and is a great wealth of information to get up to date with the truck, mods and how to's. Thanks to KiCk *** FX4 for selling me the 5" rear blocks and u-bolts... 
I bought the Fabtech Stg 1 kit, 325-60-20 Toyo Open Country A/T's and 20x8.5 Eagle alloys used off the classifieds here for $1600.
I installed the kit, 2.5 Hellbent spacer in the front and a 5" fabtech rear block myself to save some dough. I had to fab up a bracket to lower the mounting point for the parking brake cable on the drivers side since it was a little short after installing the 5" block. That was pretty simple. The front rides pretty stiff due to the angle of the control arms and the front suspension being preloaded a bit. I found a killer deal on Ebay for a set of Fabtech DL coliovers with Eibach springs. The shocks have 500 miles on them and the springs have zero miles on them. The springs are rated an extra 25lbs compared to the Fabtech springs. I got them for "are you sitting down?" $305 picked up. I will be installing those in a week or so. Enough of that.
The rest of my pics are in my gallery.

I like your setup! Good color combo..
I too just added the 5inch block and a 2 inch spacer to my 6 inch fabtech, i am waiting on a drive shaft spacer because the 5 inch block has made the driveshaft about an inch shorter, causing a mild vibration at 25 mph. Did you run into this problem also?

The ironic thing is that I bought it before I worked at a Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki dealership So in a few years when I am out of college I will be on a YZ450F
It should be fuel injected by then!
