i am in the same boat, my 2000 has very bad sag on the rear end. I want to lift it just an inch or 2, maybe the 99 highlander springs are the way to go. Lets see some pics of what it looks like when they're on!

How did you paint your flares? Rattle can? Professionally done?

I ask because I want to paint mine but I want to color match the body.

I did it myself. It's dupli color exterior trim paint black color. I just did basic paint prep work and taped them off and painted them while on the truck, didn't want to hassle with taking them off and breaking tabs and what not

Craigslist for 100bucks. Ill try and find the link for it tomorrow for you. It's not that sturdy though but looks good and functions enough to throw my spare tire and gear in it. I think it's like 160 new

FYI The rack may handle the weight but the plastic ends of the cross bars are known to break, especially if you are offroading.

Thanks, by plastic ends do you mean the towers? The towers and crossbars are Yakima.

Copy that. I thought you were using the stock crossbars. The Yakima towers and bars should hold just fine. I have loaded mine with lots of weight and have had no issues.
