    So I finally got my lift installed this past weekend.

    Headstrong Offroad 4" Bundle:
    MaxTracs
    Bilstein 5100's set at 0
    Dakar Leaf Pack
    OME Nitrochargers

    Plus I just added some new Nitto Trail Grapplers 285/65/18. I originally had 285/60/18 Grabber AT2's at stock height so I had already done some trimming, but I had to carve out a little more to keep from rubbing with the trails on. I gained exactly 4" up front and 3" in the rear and currently have about 1/2" of rake. As far as the ride goes I am very impressed! Front is better than stock ride with just the Generals I had. Rear... a little stiff but a LOT less than what I had anticipated from reading other threads about the Dakars. Very happy with the outcome!

    You should be able to get in factory specs. I would trim before messin with caster but you could if you wanted too. 285/70/17 should fit that set up without any issues. Maybe some plastic trimming but thats about it. if you didn't wanna trim, for whatever reason, I would just adjust the Icons up a hare.

    So I have a wheel spacer question. I am currently 2" over in the front from the spindles and spidertrax. I ordered some 2" spacers for the rear on ebay to even out the front and rear. They were advertised as for the FJ cruiser. Anyway the studs on the spacers are extended and the factory lug nuts are too short. The factory lug nuts also will not fit inside to spacer to be used on the factory studs. So here's the question. Can I order all pro extended lug nuts and use them either on the factory studs or on the spacers studs if the all pro nuts don't fit inside the spacer. If they are 3/4 and not 13/16 they should fit inside. Kind of a dumb question because I know I can make it work but some reassurance never hurts.

    Spacers should come with lug nuts (mine did) that fit in the hole & then you use your factory lug nuts on the spacers studs.

    The studs on the spacers are extended studs and are too long for the factory lug nuts. Basically I just need to get open ended lug nuts. I ordered the all pro extended lug nuts.

    Headstrong only shows the 5100 and 5160 on their website. DSM is also a good vendor trusted by many on TW

    No I haven't tried them, I have the 5100's for a 3-4" lift. I've had them for a little over a year & have had no problems.
    I've never ordered from downsouth but they seem to have good prices & like Taco Nation said a lot of people like & trust them here on TW.

    This isn't enough & I don't know if it's even a good deal but it may save you some money.

    Aren't you running 5.5" of lift in the rear. How do the shocks like that. I'd like to go up to 5.5" and have the same shocks and was worried about over extending them.

    Yes sir, 5.5"
    No problems so far, haven't over extended them at all. Not even out on the trails. DSM says 3-4" lift but Wheelers Offroad says 4-5"
    When I had just 2" blocks with the stock shocks they'd over extend & top out every day. Haha

    That's good to hear. I'd imagine they'd be fine as long as you don't jump the truck. I may be getting a 1.5" block to go with my all pros to level it

    What do you have your 5100's set at? When I get these spindles I would like to keep the lift as low as possible to fit 35's. Basically, I don't want to be at 7" of lift and have a horrible/stiff ride.
