    the Toytec BOSS leafs are a 2" lift leaf pack, http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/NEW-BOSS-05-Tacoma-Leaf-Springs_p_1094.html

    although they offer less lift than the Dakar, the leafs are a tad longer but have less arch...

    so in order to take advantage of the longer leafs and an attempt to keep the ride and travel similar to the Dakar, i found the 1" lift XJ shackles...

    Nice. Did you check the droop without the shock? I see you have more droop now so it makes me wonder how close you are to maxing out the shocks

    They're maxed out. They are my limiting factor again.

    Limiting straps or shock reloCation and new shocks.

    Seems like it's a never ending battle

    Yea I think I'll try to keep my set up just the way it is so I don't have to do any thing drastic :p

    I do like the idea of inboarding the shocks though.

    I need to un sub from your build.. You give me too many expensive ideas.

    I can't wait to see 35s on your truck though... That's another mod I'm afraid I'll end up copying. :D

    Might also notice the spacer Eric made for me on my brake lines. (Photo with new setup at ride height)

    On full droop my lines were TIGHT!

    SO much better now!
