    Thank you!
    No, I didn't end up doing it myself.

    It's not supposed to give 3" I don't think. The 882s give you 3". These will settle and give me hopefully around 2-2.25"

    Thanks man. I have to drive across the country in a month so these tires are staying for now. Maybe down the road

    With the V6, xcab and shell I think you will be closer to 1.75 to 2.

    I have the 2.7L in my truck. I meant I will get about 2-2.25" over my old suspension..It was sagging over time. I think I'll be right at 2". My double cab v6 got about 2".

    Here is the difference in height. I know the Tacoma I'm parked next to is older but you get the idea.

    Looks great. You'll love the OMEs. Same setup I have on my V6 minus the leaf pack. Mine took a couple months to fully settle. I've got almost 25k miles on my OME setup in the past year including lots of offroad trips and they show no signs of wearing out yet.

    Thanks man. Good to know! I've only heard good things about OME so I'm hoping it's money well spent

    Did you hit some new side line paint on the way to your picture destination or what? Truck looks good!

    Yeah, I have the 2.7 xtra cab and 881s/OME struts in the front w/ 1.5" aals in the back. It's been a year since they were installed and they have settled about 1" netting me around 2". The rear was fine til I added the top and that resulted in my installing some 1.5" shackles this weekend, which gave me back my rake that I prefer. When the bed is loaded now w/ dogs, camping gear and bikes I am level. Really can't stand that ass sagging look on a non-prerunner rig!

    Yeah, I got the new leafs because I was worried about that problem. With the camper shell and all the stuff I'm going to be carrying across the country, it seemed like the right decision.
