    Speaking of coilovers and droop, I ordered the King coilovers to go with the 6" lift that I haven't decided on yet. Problem is they won't make them till I give them a measurement. So I think I need the measurement at full droop plus 6 inches. Anyone know if that is right, and what it would be?

    They should. Plenty of people on here doing 265's with no lift. I will be doing similar - Guardians instead of Tracker (tough choice) - but with 3" Boss lift and 285 BFG KO2's.

    Thanks. I have 2" spacers up front and 18" rims. Think I like a smaller set up. The 33" Toyos really fill up the wheel well. Too much so.

    I put the toytec diff drop on my 2016 DCSB 4x4 with the OME 3" lift and rear AAL and it created some vibration issues that were outrageous sounded like some rubbing and stuff. Took the diff drop kit out and viola noise and craziness gone. Just my experience with the diff drop and OME setup though.

    Did you use the wedge shim with your rear leafs?
    Or does that leaf kit different?

    It was the Wheelers AAL 1.5" I believe and I am unsure if my buddy used any wedge shims I didnt put on the AAL.

    Oh okay just asking
    I installed the add a leafs from toytec (Deaver) and I used the wedge. My rear sits a little higher than my front.
    I'll be taking the wedge off this weekend in hopes of leveling out the truck.

    Yea I am surprised at how level mine is little to no rake at all i know the helper was pulled out and that rear progressive AAL from wheelers worked great with the OME I love the stance now Im just waiting on these damn wheels and tires to arrive.

    In case anyone else wants to order custom coilovers from King, I found out the dimension is 22 and about three eighths of an inch, that is the full droop of the factory coilover.. Then if you add the exact heighth of the spacer you will be replacing which in my case is five and three quarters to that measurement. That's how they get the size to make the coilover to eliminate the spacer! So I went with 28 1/4" cstom coilover from King shock.

    Hey guys currently I have 5100's set at 1.75 which gave me 2 1/4" of lift with the eibach coils. Rear is the tac-al 2" lift that gave me 1". Ended up 1/4" lower in front. The new 16' is on its way and I'm wanting this same kind of stance. What I "think" with the 16' using these shocks set at 1.75 and same rear lift it would have the bro lean right? Since the 16' is already a inch taller in front? I'm definitely open to a different/better lift to achieve this. (Sorry if this is stupid)

    Sounds like you're on the right track. What's the second setting on 5100s? .85? If so then that should give you about the same stance if you did the same leaf in the rear

    Yes, I used the 1.5 - 2" AAL from ToyTec and the wedge shim on my 2016 DCSB TRD OR 4x4.

    What did you use to lift the front?

    Did your truck come out level or did the rear sit a tad bit higher?

    Mine looks just tad higher in the rear, almost like stock.
    I used the 5100 coilover kit 3 inch lift from toytec but since it was set up for the 2015 it looks like I only got about a 2 inch lift on my 16.
    So a 2 inch in the rear and 2 inch in the front it pretty much left me where I started as far as the rake goes.

    But I'll be removing my rear wedges tonoght or tomorrow and hope the rear drops a bit.

    The boss 3" lift adjustable front with SPA upper control arms. At the preset height on the coils, the rear is just slightly higher up, pretty much the same angle as stock. I'll eventually crank up the front another 1/2 inch or so when I put on bigger tires, but I'm happy with it for now.
