Looking for Quality lift that won't break the bank?

This would also be a nice setup for you.

You can leave off the diff drop because it doesn't do anything on our trucks and save yourself another $30.

If you want 3" then you would add the top plate spacers but you will get 2-2.5" without them. I've run the same thing except I have the Dakar springs in the back for 4 years and have been very happy with it. I have the 885's on mine with top spacers. If you do 3" then you might want to invest in new UCA's when you can to help with your alignment but they won't be needed if under 3".

The ride is firm but not harsh. I'm running 8 ply tires so mine is kind of stiff but fine with a regular tire. The stock ride sucked to me.

No it doesn't drop it, it rotates the diff.

 

No diff drop for me

 

I'm not looking for a specific amount of lift in the front, I am not going to be running bigger tires than the one inch bigger than stock that fit fine now with no lift. I want to do the AAL just to gain a bit more capacity in the bed. I have a camper shell I use about half the time and it sags with the shell and a loaded bed. Was thinking 885s up front, what do you recommend? I don't want to have to do UCAs right now.

 

You should probably look into a progressive 3 leaf AAL or a new leaf pack like the Dakars. I've read that single AALs are pretty lame if you're loading up the bed frequently. So far I haven't had any issue with my single AAL but I rarely have anything really heavy in my truck bed.

 

You could go with the OME 90021 that they say have a better on road ride with 885's. I have the OME 90000 struts with 885's. Leave off the top plate spacers and get the 2-2.5" lift and no need to worry about UCA's. 265's will fit fine and look good. They will also ride a lot better than 285's.

If you will have a camper on there a good bit you might be better off with a set of Dakars in the back. I know it's another $400 (Maybe it's $500 can't remember I got everything as a kit at once) but it beats spending $150 on a AAL and then finding out you would have been better off with a leaf pack.

 

Good info, Thanks!

 

is there anything that would compare to the stock trd sport ride and price that would also give a little lift. Noticed today that one of my rear struts is blown. I love the ride of the stock ted sport set up but was thinking about a small lift too. Under 3in. any thoughts would be appreciated
