    As you should. That asshat doesn't stand a chance. What kind of idiot breaks parts and then tells you you're responsible? Clearly they didn't learn shit as a child or an adult.

    So I've done a little research on caster, camber, and toe but I still don't fully understand it. With the 885 coils its going to be impossible to get everything within spec right? I will get LR UCAs when I have the money but will it be fine for light offloading for now?

    is your truck 4wd? If so, the 885s only lift 2.5" w the bilsteins set to 0. You may not get a +3 Caster, but it will be ok. I purchased the light racing with my setup, but I don't think I definitely needed it since the 885s don't take you over or at 3" up front

    YES! Looks great man, how long have you had it on for? Truck looks awesome I love the white with black SCS wheels. White was my first pick when I went to buy but they only had silver on the lot. Silver has grown on me a lot though. I can't wait to get 285's. What are yours, coopers? Sometimes I think about slashing my tires so I have an excuse to tell my wife to get new tires haha. Did you do your headlights yourself? I'm really trying to get some black headlights to match my tails.

    Had this one for 2 years, I got 285 coopers because of weight. 10lbs lighter than any other 285 out there. I did my headlights myself. Headlights are easy; you just need to take your time and spend a good day on it.

    You need new 1 inch longer u-bolts for the aal. May as well call Marie back for those too. You won't find them on the shelf at Vato Zone.

    Awesome man! You're going to love it! Don't forget to post pictures here when you're done to help others who are thinking about this setup.
    I don't think you need anything else buddy, that's everything I bought from headstrong as well. Only other thing is the drive shaft spacer from wheelers off road. You don't have to get it but it may help with any steering vibes you might have post lift. It's only like $12 and is super easy to install.
    I didn't get new longer U-bolts. Not sure how necessary that is. My stock ones fit just fine and are holding tight. I have heard that you're not supposed to re-use U-bolts after you take them off but I feel like plenty of people do and I don't really wheel because prerunner so I don't see any issues with the old one. I could be wrong though, maybe someone else will chime in.

    Edit: and yes, Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road is awesome. Very knowledgable and willing to help.

    Spend $80 more and get a rear U-bolt flip kit while you're at it. Money well spent.

    AALs are like 1/4" thick, why would he need 1" longer ubolts?
    The factory ubolts would work fine with the addition of an AAL.

    oh I will be posting pictures for sure! Thanks for all the tips. Ordered that driveline carrier bearing drop from wheelers as well. I have a prerunner too and they are plenty capable offroad. Get that truck dirty!

    Yeah one or the other. Standard u bolts are squared off, flip kits are round. Maybe stock length will work
    The longer ones don't affect clearance.on mine. You can always cut them if it bothers you.

    Stock U-bolts are long enough for a single leaf AAL. The U-bolts supplied with a flip kit (the kit from Headstrong anyway...) are long enough that you can do the AAL AND 1" blocks....(Tried that...removed the blocks after a day) With the flip kit, the extra length can remain and not be a problem. (Threaded portion sticks UP instead of down) With a flip kit, you will however need to do something with bump stops. Several options there....One thing always leads to another. It never ends!

    I plan to keep my tire size 265/70/17. Anyone think the 885 will be too much lift and make these look too small? The 884s a possibility
