    Awesome! That's exactly the info I needed. Now if we can just confirm that it's okay to stack it with my 1/4 taco lean spacer.

    Best way to find out is ask Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road . I think @Bluegrass Taco said he did it though and is currently running the 1/2" plate on top of the 1/4" lean plate.

    I make my own 1/2" spacers. They're cut from a sheet of 1/2" thick white poly. Then I used the aluminum 1/4" spacer supplied with my lit from Headstrong. The studs supplied with the top hat is long enough to snug up fine, with about a thread-and-a-half showing above the nut. After 20,000 miles and quite a bit of hard off roading, not one single issue to report. I personally like the poly spacers.

    Would you make/sell these spacers?? I am looking for 1/2 spacer on driver side (and I'd use 1/4 supplied spacer for the passenger side) but dont want to get longer studs. If yours don't require longer studs I'd like to discuss if can purchase. However, if you think I will have enough threads to just add 1/2 to driver and 1/4 to passenger then I'll just order them from headstrong!

    I answered your PM, THEN read this reply. I have PLENTY of length with the existing studs to use 1/2" spacers. As mentioned in the PM, I have a 1/2" AND 1/4" stacked on one side and still have part of the treaded stud sticking through the nut.

    I don't sell the spacers I make. There is a great deal of insurance liability with regards to "home made" suspension parts, as well as selling/installing aftermarket or altered parts. I will install these parts on my own truck, but will not sell or supply them to others.....even if they are just a simple "spacer". They work just fine...Not a single fear in the world with my using them, I just will not assume liability for others using parts I make. In the same vein, I will not "suggest" you use parts in a way other than as recommended by their manufacturer and/or vendor. I am only commenting on how I successfully did so.

    Looks good! You happy with the tire size? If you don't mind me asking, how much did the headstrong parts set you back? I'm thinking of doing the same set-up with 16" TRD Trail Teams, or my current 18" Toyota Premiums (not sure how that would look though).

    People using the AAL, are people using the standard rear 5100's or the "extended length" 5100's?

    yes I'm happy with the tire size. In this size you can get c-rated k02s and not have to go with e-rated. But those 16s you have are nice id stick with that. The whole setup including uca and aal will be around $1,100

    Looks awesome man. Love those level 8 wheels. I was so close to getting them but then I decided to spend a little more on methods. Kinda still wish I had of got those though.
    I'm using the standard rear 5100's. I'm almost purely city driving though but I've had no issues with them and the AAL.

    thanks! A few miles further north... Sycamore Canyon Campground at Point Mugu. Very similar. Campground is less of a walk to the beach, although this one has no general store. Both are great places

    Has anybody used the OME 887 coils? Headstrong says it will give your truck 3" of lift with the 5100's. Im highly considering due to i want to up my lift from 2.5 to 3 inches!

    887's are recommended if you have additional weight up front like a plate bumper or winch. If you don't you may get to much lift out of the 887's and will need to change out the UCA's for clearance issues, as well as the bro lean.
