    Thanks in advance for answering. Who has the most complete OME lift package? Toytec? Is the toytec lift missing shackles or anything else? Do I need to put on shackles if I am putting on new dakar springs? 881 or 883 coil for an 01double cab v6 with trail gear low profile tube bumper? Thanks

    Eh, see my Build Thread sig link. Too many mods to list.
    I believe that OME and Toytec are two different packages... Note that OME doesn't have Toytec anything in it and vice versa.

    I bought the Toytec Ultimate Lift for mine.

    Is this the package you were looking at?

    If so, you'd end up with a front and rear lift and a (worthless if you ask me) diff drop. So it would be fairly complete. The only thing you could do better is get a full rear spring pack instead of the AAL. That being said, if your current rear springs are in decent shape the AAL should work well with them.

    As for longer shackles... you don't really "need" them. They will end up giving your more lift, and more extension but a longer shackle will also change your shackle angle. If you go too long, you'll end up with an almost vertical shackle instead of a shackle kicked back roughly 45 degrees. Since it sounds like you are looking for package lifts, you may want to start out with a lift and stock shackles.
