    4 or 4.5 bs will work fine. Probably need to do a CMC as well to eliminate all rub.

    Plenty of great products so far !
    I just spent 20K this year with 3" front 4.75 " rear at first 285/70-17" Now 6" BDS with 7" in front 8" in the rear. 35"x12.5" BFG KO 2's with Fuel D538 wheels and only a 4.5" back set with still allows my new tires to rub the Swaybar! If "my" shop knew what they were doing they should have sold me 3.5"or 4" back spacing on the wheels! BMC will need to be done or you hit it with the steering wheel turned all the way in either direction!

    Swaybar relocate wouldn't move it out of the way? Or swaybar delete, I like that option.

    Mine came off with 884s and stayed off when I went to 886s. I can tell there is some extra body roll going around roundabouts but other than that I only notice it offroad. I drive like an old person though.

    Drops it a little bit and moves it forward an inch... Worked for me with my 887 front.

    Do the OZ thing and put rubber in between the leafs and the squeak point. I forgot all the details. @OZ-T for the link.

    I just bought the Toytec package for an OME setup. 9000 shocks up front with 885coils in preparation for a bumper addition later on. Purchased assembled with new bushings. I'm going to handle the install myself with a few experienced friends. Also got a smoking deal on some unibal Camburg UCA's. I plan on running 33" BFG K02s after chopping the cab mount, flattening the pinch weld, and trimming the fenders. I plan on running 1.25" spidertraxx wheel spacers for all 4 wheels, and I got some good tips on how to achieve proper alignment with this setup.

    I couldn't easily find the answers to the things I am wondering, so maybe someone will be willing to help me out here:

    Should I bother with the 4x4 front diff drop?

    I have both the ToyTec top plate spacers that are sold with this kit, and the Hell Bent Steel front spacers. It is my understanding that the installation of both of these is the same, with the Hell Bent steel spacers being intended to increase the height even more, so I'm wondering; could I use the hell bent steel spacers for a bit of extra lift up front? If possible, what would the costs / benefits of doing this be?

    Thanks to any and all for their contributions here :thumbsup:

    I don't know about the double spacer deal (seems like a bad idea), but the diff drops aren't good on 2nd gens so don't bother with that.

    Not double spacer. Just the larger one instead of the ~3/4" from ToyTec.

    Not an expert here by any means, just been reading a lot the last few years. I'd stick with the top plate spacers you got instead of the taller ones. Bumping your lift up that high is going to cause bad CV angles. That's the main reason people stay at or below 3" of lift.
