    If you want I'm selling my stock wheels and tires for $400. Got the factory aluminum wheels and BFG Rugged Terrains (265/70/16). The wheels have about 45k miles on them and the tires have about 7.5k miles.

    Hauled close to 3/4 ton of gravel (only asked for 1/2 ton). The 2.7L surprised me didn't struggle with the weight at all. image.jpg

    Poured some blood sweat and tears into my 2nd gen today. It's 94* out right now... But at least I'm finally done with my entire lift after today!

    Dakars with the extra leaf for a future rear tire carrier and expo loads.

    Nope only half way done. Taking a lunch break then I will go knock out the other side it's taking longer than I would like, I think it's the heat I can feel myself working slower or maybe it's just it's been about 7 years since I've done leaf springs :rofl:it does feel good to be wrenching on a rig again.

    I'll post before and after pics to show how much height I've gained and from what I've read I'm expecting it to ride pretty rough until I get a load on there like the rear tire carrier bumper I'm planning on buying around tax time.

    Look at the Toyo Rugged Terrains. I like the way they look more than the AT2 - even the "ruggedy"LT version.

    I'll keep buying Toyo M55s for awhile though, I think

    Finished installing my OME Dakars just before the afternoon rain set in on us. Sitting a little high but that just means I need to get some bumpers!

    OME 866 coils up front with JBA high caster upper control arms and OME Dakars plus the OME AAL in the rear.

    20160709_160335.jpg

    Here it is with the OME 886 coils in the front and stock rear leafs + a cheap no name AAL (PO installed) You can see it's a little taller in the front and I rode around like this for about a month until I had enough "fun money" saved up for my Dakars.

    20160621_191415a.jpg

    Here is is the day I bought it about 2 months ago the PO had installed a shitty spacer lift up from and a no name AAL in the rear. All the shocks and struts were toast and it road like a brick.

    How did the 886 ride without bumpers? I thought about that option, but I have 885s to install instead.

    It rides a little rough but I don't really have anything to compare it to. When I bought the truck it was sitting on a 3" spacer lift with blown out front struts so to me the 886 coils ride way better than what I had. Someone coming from newer stock struts might hate them.

    For me a rougher ride is worth the price of not having to change them out later once I put the ARB bumper and winch I want on.

    Yeah, I don't plan on a bumper soon, so I went 885. I was just curious about your experience. I drive a LOT of rough roads, so I didn't ever really think I'd do 886s.
