    One thing I'm concerned about that maybe you guys could chime in on is, I have a one inch block in the rear with the stock leaf pack (2.7l) and have done a couple of heavy loads and I'm a little worried that when I install the AAL it won't sit flush with the others. Like maybe I overloaded them and they're tweaked and out of shape...

    I'd think as long as they're not frowning you'll be okay.

    OK good to know. Thanks!

    This is pretty much how it looks. I just hope they spring back to original shape...

    Supposedly the OEM leafs are "designed to be flat."

    I still think you'll be okay unless they're reverse arched already.

    I'm having a hard time locating the extended/collapsed lengths of the nitrocharger shocks for the dakar pack. Anyone know them?

    Which spindle? They have different heights. And this is the OME thread, were you looking for dakars or any ideas? Will you be carrying a bunch of stuff in the back or not?

    I don't believe you're going to get enough lift for your needs with the AAL so I suggest you look at the OME Dakars.

    Aright...

    Back with more questions now that I know what my set up will be on armor.

    I have a bruteforce fab hybrid front bumper that weighs 80 lbs.

    I will have a swongout bumper that weighs 135 lbs together without the tire mounted.

    I currently have a body armor rear bumper that, according to Amazons packaging, weighs 125 lbs. and have .5 inches of rake.

    My current suspension set up is 5100s preloaded at 2.5" up front and 5100s with an all pro 3 leaf aal in back with the overload spring left in.

    I have about .5" of rake and want to keep it that way.

    I'm thinking of going with 885s up front and keeping my rear set up. Do you think that the added weight of the new rear bumper/ tire will affect it too much?

    I had it geared up for the Grand Canyon with about 600 lbs of gear in the bed and it still sat level currently.

    I was trying to figure out how to install the 3° shims on the bottom of the OME Dakars. I know that there was a link before on how to install them that OZ-T put up but the link is not working. Does anyone have a "how to" or can explain exactly how to do it step-by-step? I haven't ordered them yet but I want to know what I'm getting into before I do.....

    I just wanted to ask your guys input before I place my order for my lift/tires

    I have a 4 door with a topper, and I plan on getting the ARB bumper (no winch initially)...So my plan is 886s in front and Dakar in the rear...the price I'm being quoted on Toytec is $1350 ....does that seem right? And this is the correct setup for the bumper right?

    Also I plan on ordering the Camberg UCAs (http://camburg.com/all-products/03-11-4runner/toyota-tacomafj-performance-uniball-upper-arms/)

    This should be everything I need right? Thanks!

    Seems about right if they are assembling the springs for you. And yes, I would run 886s with an ARB w/ or w/out a winch.
