    Thinking of getting OME kit I got a 2015 db lb trd sport. I am looking for 2.5 lift I don't do that much offroading but I want to get some bigger tires and have a a good quality ride. My question is do I need full dakars for the back or is a is a 3 leaf mini pack good enough. I want to stay under 3 so I don't have to change the ucas

    how big of a tire are you wanting to go. I would say go with 885 since you have the long bed plus the trim packer or spacer depending on what shocks you get and leave the back alone. that is if you don't want any rake. if you want to keep the rake then i will let someone else chime in. i went with the 884/5100 with top spacer because i have a SB and didn't touch the rear and i sit level with 265/70/17 (32") just for reference.

    If you can afford Dakars, I would get Dakars. 3 leaf is only good for a max of 2" of lift height, and ride quality of my truck with Dakars over a 3 leaf AAL is night and day different.

    Dunno.

    Icon, ToyTec, Wheeler's all sell the same 3 leaf AALs, they all come from the same manufacturer and who prices theirs the highest?

    Icon.

    When I think of leaf packs, I don't think Icon. I'm sure they have a reason not to do so.

    Is it required to replace the ubolts or can u use the same ones? Someone told me u had to because they stretch if you re torque them.

    My points is I want to drive a truck, not a vibrating dildo on wheels from the cv's and drivetrain shaking. I have seen cv's blow at heights not much higher than stock. Plus, it saves hassle and premature wear on components. :)

    You might've given the impression you've already driven one.... Either way that was funny!

    Meh. If that was something I enjoyed, I wouldn't complain about it. Having extra headaches or worrying about components wearing out early is not something I care to increase the chance of.

    Yes.
    A Photo for some of the folks looking for ideas.
    Here's my '07 Access Cab, with 886 Springs up front, and a 2" Wheeler's Add A Leaf in the rear. Tires are 265/70/17 on stock TRD Sport wheels.

    How much of a lift should expect if I go for the 885 coils. I am hopping to stay under 3 to avoid replacing ucas

    I'm under 3" and need UCAs. Under 2" more likely.

    I have 885x coils and 3/8ths spacers right now with a steel brute force fab hybrid bumper, going to add a xrc 9.5k synthetic winch pretty soon! should i expect a worse ride if I move up to 886x coils?

    Thanks guys
