    When I spoke to Headstrong off road to order my lift kit they actually recommended avoiding the diff drop kit.

    Bushings were not greased properly. I guess the LR UCA'S need a specific type of grease.

    Ground clearance issue. Plus they didn't feel it has any real benefit. If I'm recalling correctly.

    I don't think I put enough grease on the bushings. If I pull the uca pins out to grease, it doesn't mess with the alignment right?

    So I read all the threads on 2015 and ome rear shocks... What's the percentage of people who had to adjust or cut the shock mount to fit them

    Quick question...

    I ordered a full OME lift today. This kit but with 887's I'm looking for a full 3" up front. Will this do it? Not opposed to adding spacers. Just do t want to do it AFTER...

    With the 887's, the truck won't sit nose high, right?

    I'm also going to install a Mobtown hitch / recovery bar. It weighs 63lbs. Do you think that's enough weight to sag the 887's at all?

    I've been reading and reading... So much info. I'm just giving up and asking.

    Thank you!

    I think you will be fine. You may just need to add the trim packer on the driver side for the taco lean. Other than that you should sit about level or even have a bit of rake. I am guaging this off my experience with the 886s and the dakars (I don't have the spacer though and have the taco lean). I was sitting about level with the bumper and now it has some rake with everything up front (winch,skids, bumper, battery).

    The 63lbs shouldn't do anything from the recovery bar. If your not running a winch on it all the time in the hitch mount you will be fine. The springs are not suppose to sag anyways and that's not much weight up front. The worst that will happen is it may just sit a tad lower due to the springs settling. I doubt it though. My bumper barely did anything to my 886's and even with the winch it barely sits lower.

    Doing 887's is the way to get 3" up front. I did full Dakar rears and sat fairly level.

    After adding skid plates I now have rake again (ie front is lower than rear).
