    I would.

    I'm going (to have Jace) install the AAL and for the most part I'll just be hauling the topper around.

    I see you have 265/75r16 tires. I'm wondering if the 1" less diameter of my tires will make the wheel well gap look awkward.

    I think yours has the perfect stance going right now.

    Only one way to find out... Then if it is, you have an excuse to buy bigger tires. I'm hoping to sell mine this summer and move to 33's...

    Thanks everyone! I'll just go ahead and install it. If I have super rake, oh well. It should settle with the constant weight of my tent and stuff lol

    Don't feel bad. I'll be running my 265/70s until about October. Then 33s. I'll look like a skateboard going down the road :eek:

    Intake, exhaust, lift. Typical stuff.
    Question. I just ordered some springs but I have Daystar greasable shackles. Do I need to remove the bushings?? I think Im going to cancel the Toytec order and order through wheelers offroad as they come without bushings...

    You have 31x10.5x15? For reference this is mine after 5100/ eibachs and all pro standards on 31x10.5's. Definitely some wheel gap. I got used to it since I can't justify new tires, but when these wear out I'll be going at least 1 size bigger (32", if not 2 sizes bigger) depy7aze_ec1b0bedcc0184897d929dd03806201486cf253d.jpg

    I need to see what yours look like installed with the aal before I order mine.
    Have a feeling your going to have hella rake.
    I'm getting a full 3 inches of lift in the front with the 881's and 1/4 in spacer. And that's with my winch and tube bumper.
    Which coils did you get?

    It's red.
    Which shackle are you using? I'm putting in Dakars this summer but want a similar height to what I have now and yours is pretty close to mine.

    I was told that the 881s + Dakar (without AAL) will settle to 2.25" of lift.

    The AAL adds another 3/4" of lift in the rear.

    Yeah... I should have specified "2.25" over stock"

    I'm going to measure from hub to fender before and after. Should be hilarious.

    I'm also going to measure the same distance 1 week, 6 months and 1 year after installation.

    Hmm... My 881's settled to a bit under 2" (about 1.75"). No bumper or anything :notsure:

    My measurements from center hub to fender are:

    It sure looks like my truck is leaning way more than half an inch ds.
    Should I just take the 1/4in top spacer out?
