    I put 5100s all around and AAL in rear. I'm running 285/70/17's and there's no rubbing, but I also got Spidertrax wheel spacers to help with the backspace clearance (space between backside of tire and Upper Control Arm - black triangle looking thing)

    So here it is all finished, Deavers 1.5"-2" AAL and 5100' with OME 888 coils up front. Hope the front settles some as I didn't want it to be level.

    No new UCA', however I'm curious if Ill need them as the tire is very close to them. I haven't got the alignment just yet. Going to wait about a week and let the coils settle first. Ill post how the alignment goes when I get it. Thanks.

    Give or take 10hrs, with breaks here and there. So far rides great! Going to let it settle and to the alignment shop!

    I got my 887s and 5100s today and need to assemble them. How'd that spring compressor work for you? Your truck looks great with the lift.

    It works great! Just need a good compressor and impact gun. Shit is brutal to do with a hand wrench.

    sorry I may have asked, with the 888's what setting did you put on the front 5100's. Marie at headstrong told me the new 888's are for the 2016 Tacoma's!

    What size and brand spacer are you running? I think I'm going to have to run one as my front tires are very close to my UCA.

    0, the 888' will give a 2.5" lift on their own.

    @SothernTaco

    Are you getting any taco lean on the driver's side? Did you install a top plate spacer?

    No Taco lean as of yet. I did not install a spacer.

    On a side note, just got back from some good off roading and it did awesome!!!! My jeep buddy and his buddy with a new 4x4 silevrado with a 6" lift and MT' were extremely impressed with the Taco and how easy it made things look that they had to "goose" it to get through. Taco would just walk right on through like it was nothing. I love this thing and the Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires.

    Nice man! When you installed the add-a-leaf, did you need longer u bolts or ?

    I did use longer u bolts, however I think had I compressed the AAL fully with the centering bolt first, I could have used the stock u bolts. I ended up cutting about 1.5" - 1.75" off the u bolts I used. This was a live and learn experience for me installing the AAL. May sound crazy but doing the shocks and coils up front was way easier, however I've done shocks and coils on various things over the years.
