    On my 95 tacoma, how do you suppose the wheelers 5 leaf with AAL and one inch shackle will ride? Im hoping to get a little over three inches of lift with the canopy and gear..

    Well thats exactly what i had..and i loved it. Was about 4.5'' on an empty bed id say. So you be around 3.5'' or 4'' with a topper im sure.

    Rode pretty good. But my wheelers 5 pack was made by Alcan, and now they are imported from India so it might be different now.

    They flexed awesome though. I loved it, hell, really my leafs right now are that same setup pretty much.

    Only locked in the rear. Would love a front one. But probably not in the cards this year. Was considering a crawlbox too but that isn't likely either now.

    Be a fun trail. I think I'll plan a trip down there in August with Brett if he is still up for it

    That's a popular trail. I would try to avoid big weekends like Labor Day.
