    Nice, that's right where I figured it would end up.

    Yes sir

    The 887's and 886's aren't the same. The 887's have a different spring rate than the 886's which are designed to be a lot stiffer and used with like 200+ lbs of extra weight in the front so that the front doesn't sag. If you don't have that extra weight up front then you're deciding between 884's, 885's, and 887's.

    And yes, 887's do work with 90000's or 90021's.

    Keep us posted on how much the rear settles. I have the Dakar leaf pack w/ 5100's and would love to have Icon's but they are too pricey for me atm.
    I have been thinking about removing the 3rd leaf but don't want to sacrifice the height.

    With the toytec u-bolt flip kit do you still need bump stops or is that not necessary because the dakars prevent the springs from compressing that far? I didn't see anyway to keep the stock bump stops on

    As it sits now it looks like it's raked a little but not too bad. I've got Icons on the front but I don't want to have to lift them too much more because I'm already past 2" of thread showing on the shock body.

    Yes, you'll want to run some bump stops. i put mine in from the top, went and flexed it and then cutoff the excess (these types of bumps were longer than I needed).

    Im thinking of doing the same setup i already have the icons just want to add the Dakars
    I was thinking removing one of the overloads
    Why did you decide to remove the 3rd leaf instead of overload??Post measurments when ya get a chance..:)

    Same here. I'm not too sure how much lift I actually have...I just adjusted the front and cranked my Icons down so my truck didn't have a bunch of rake but wasn't totally level either. A little rake is good.

    I read that some members are still experiencing taco lean even with trim packer. Can you just add another trim packer so there is two on driver side instead of a trim packer and top plate spacer?

    I installed OME 90021's all around with 885 coils this weekend. And wheelers 3 leaf AAL. And Light Racing UCA's. I got the trim packer and the 10mm spacers. Due to an oversight on my part I forgot to put the spacer on the passenger side. As of right now the truck is exactly level. I am going to measure again this weekend after putting ~200 miles on and see if the driver and passenger side settle differently. I thought I'd have some kind of anti-taco lean but it seems to have worked out.

    I read a lot about removing the 3rd leaf or the overload. I picked the 3rd leaf because I usually haul 2 dirtbikes, a camper, and all the gear that comes with it. I understand that removing the 3rd leaf doesn't decrease the load capacity. Whether I'm right or wrong the ride is sweet. I'll measure later this week. Should have about 500 miles on it by then.

    I'm running the dakars with icon coilovers set at 2.5" and the ride is great IMO. The dakars are as nice as the stock 4 leaf springs that came off the drop. No complaints whatsoever.
    There is a bit of rake, but it's fine for me. The dakars lifted the rear about 2.75". Same rake as stock just more noticeable.
