    Nah I've got the crappy 3 leaf pack. And they have zero arch left in them. I'm waiting on the new leafs too. Every time I get my oil changed I ask the service manager about it and he acts like he gets aggravated ...
    A lot of times I think I know more from tacomaworld than they do.

    I did it in about 3 hours in my driveway with one other person. Really not much to it if you or someone else knows a little bit about what you're doing. Just search out some install threads or youtube videos. I have the crappy 3 leaf pack too and I feel like the add-a-lead improved my setup in the rear. I like the ride. Are you doing add-a-leaf or swapping out the leaf pack?

    About a month ago I installed 884s with 5100s at 0 up front and a wheelers 1.5" AAL in the back with 5100s. I do have the recall leaf springs. Been super busy so I haven't been able to make a decent thread on it. I ended up getting ~2" front and back with the setup. Alignment was within spec on stock UCAs. I love the ride, and I don't have any vibes as of now. I still lean on the left side even with the quarter inch spacer, but I'll be addressing that later.

    Here is my truck stock on 265/75r16:

    Here it is after the install:

    Hope this helps!!

    I'll be doing an add a leaf most likely. Haven't decided yet. I know I'm gonna need to do something in the rear.

    This is the look I'm going for. How's the ride??

    From my previous Off-Road suspension, I think it's a whole lot better. I thought the OR shocks and coils were way too cushy and let the truck roll side to side too much while the OME keeps the front wheels planted and does a better job soaking up the bumps. The rear suspension feels pretty much the same as stock to me, and I think it rides great. No complaints here, but I believe my old suspension was pretty worn out so pretty much anything would have made it better.
