    I plan on ordering the full OME kit with 881s and Dakars w/no AAL for my 04 double cab. How many have had to use a center bearing drop/ shim kit? Just trying to think ahead and get everything I need.

    OME Everything! (883 coils with Dakars), Light Racing UCAs, Wheelers SS brake lines, Toytec 1" lift shackles, Magnaflow muffler, CKMA12 ARB On-Board Air Compressor, Custom 80' Sliders
    I installed full kit on my 96 extended cab and did run into som issues.. Found rear brake line dangerously stretched with the Dakar lift (ordered one from wheelers).. Also have front and rear vibrations, which is some what common. Now need bushing from ECGS (tool and bushing $120) and possibly carrier bearing drop to help with minor high speed vibration from rear.

    Other than that lift looks great.. Can't wait to get that brake line in to test out the suspension.

    It went from oozing to that in about...a week or two. At least from the time I noticed it originally. I'm not gonna worry about it for a while...I have no idea how to change a CV boot and don't really want to mess with it until spring.

    Also I find it odd that the CVs never leaked any grease for the year I had the 883s with no weight up front. Then I add a bumper and they explode lol.

    As for installing the front coils, (I also have 882's) I removed the 4 bolts that connect the lower ball joint to the steering knuckle on both sides allowing me to push the lower control arm down far enough to push the lower bolt in. I first lightly tightened the 3 bolts up top so I didn't have to push the lower control arm down as far. I did not have to remove the tie rod ball joints to do this. I also removed my sway bar.

    Remove wheel, remove 36mm hub bolt, remove 4 14mm bolts that hold lower ball joint to steering knuckle, pull front hub away removing outer axle, use pry bar to remove inner axle from front diff.

    Pretty much that easy ^ it does take a little finagling though... You'll get the hang of it. And if you seat the seal poorly, you can get extra practice (ask me how I know this three times over).
