 To get the ball rolling on her project truck, Heather contacted Eric Arrington at KUSTOMWERKS in Union City, Tennessee to get her truck down to a driving level that suited her. Eric went to work immediately by notching the rear frame rails five inches and creating a one-off tubular cross member.  Next, the factory leaf springs were ditched and in their place Eric installed an Air Ride Technologies parallel 4-link. Eric also installed Firestone 2600 airbags in the rear, along with Doestch Tech gas shocks to smooth the bumps out. Up front, Eric flipped the ball joints and then created custom airbag brackets in order to mount the Firestone 2200 bags. Again Doestch Tech shocks were installed to help keep the ride smooth. While working the front, Heather also had Brembo cross-drilled brake calipers installed. After getting the bags and mounts installed, Eric plumbed the system using ITT electric fast valves with 3/8" airline throughout the system. Two Firestone compressors are used to fill the two 3 gallon powder coated air tanks that supply Heather's truck with the air for the bags.

 Next, Heather chose a set of rolling attire to compliment the new stance of her Toyota. Chrome Neeper Haaz wheels in the 18x7 fashion was the wheel of choice for Heather. Toyo FZ4 tires were chosen as the rubber to wrap the new wheels, using ultra-low 215-35-18 in the front and rear.  Heather next turned to the exterior of her Toyota and utilized the help of several people to get the head turning work that she desired. First, Eric Arrington of KUSTOMWERKS shaved the marker lights from a set of 4x4 fenders as well as the antenna.
