    A bunch a cool stickers, a bada ass MetalMiller Tx Longhorns grill emblem painted Hemi Orange, JBA long tube headers with o2 sims, Diff breather mod, Red LED interior lights, Fancy head unit that plays ipod n movies, Also DIY install factory stuff like, factory cruise control, factory intermittent wipers, OME nitro struts with 886x springs and toy tec top plate, JBA high caster UCA's for better alignmnet and dey beefier too, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs in da rear with the gear, U bolt flipper, Ivan Stewart TRD rims with 33" K Bro 2's, some bad ass weather tech floor liners so I don't muck up my interior, an ATO shackle flipper for mo travel in da rear wit the gear, also super shiny Fox 2.0 shocks back there too, all sorts of steal armor for bouncing off of the rocks like demello sliders, AP front skid, trans skid, n transfer skid, demello gas tank skid, and a tough as nails ARB bumper with warn 8k winch, I'm sure there's more

    No new coils necessary. Just set your 5100's at 1.75 and should be close to level with the TSB.

    Downsouth sells OME stuff too. Not sure if they have a single AAL though, I know they sell the Icon 3-leaf which rides like butter but is an expensive AAL.

    Also, if you're pushing between 2.5 - 3" you might want to think about UCA's also...

    If you are lifting the front 2.5" (either with 885s or 5100s) and you are OK with being nose high then no the AAL isn't necessary.
