    It rode fine and aligned without issue. I recommend it if you just want a little lift and somewhat stiffer ride.

    You got 2.5" with 884s? Do you have a single cab? I barely got that with my 886s.

    Truck looks sweet. What model RTT do you have? Would you get the same one again?

    Reporting on sway bar delete. Completely drive-able without it but no longer tracks like a race car, steering and front end are a bit spongy but of course this is all highway and no off road so I might look into quick disconnect options. Any ideas on where to start on that, is it even an option on a Tacoma?

    No. There are many people who have tried to make something work but I don't think I've seen any succeed. Make one, patent it, retire after TW group buy.

    Another question. Directly after lift I noticed a faint rattling noise on acceleration. Seems to be coming from driver side not sure of front or back. I thought it could be wind noise but at around 30 mph when I let off gas the noise stops and starts when back on gas. No noticeable vibes. I tried to take audio of it but wind noise drowned it out. What gives.

    Did you torque everything to spec? After you test drove did you check them again?

    yes, i think the only thing i couldnt torque properly was the the new bushing on the leaf spring. I just tightened it up pretty snug

    Any random bolts or change chilling in your truck anywhere? Do the tires make funny vibrations happen? My tires wore down to the old alignment and now the tread contacts the pavement and gives me some rumbling vibes

    I did just get new tires during lift. Kind of wish I would have waited until I knew lift was all set. It is odd that I can only hear it under acceleration.

    Just confirming....'15 DCSB 6-speed with Snugtop Rebel topper- 885 and Dakars will give factory rake? I carry camping gear in the summer and generally have some sandbags for the winter.

    My biggest concerns are drive line vibrations and CV wear (hence the 885's and not 887's). Also, what are the issues with the rear shock on '15's? I'm still reading this entire thread....it's exhausting!

    Will also do- LR UCA, extended brake lines (f&r), sway bar relocation kit and new bump stops (f&r).
