    I cant decide which one to get. Can anyone tell me the difference in the rides? or which one is better. I will be ordering off of HS soon.

    My front set up is going to be billies at 0 with 887 OME.

    I did the Deavers 2" AAL...I'm thrilled with the ride, but would have preferred it to sit just a tic higher. I did 885's with 1/2" home made poly spacers. (which should sit just about the same height as your 887's) The rear actually sat just a tic lower that the front end until I went back and installed a 1" rear block to get the rear end 1/2" higher that the front. As I said, ride is excellent and I'm happy with the way it turned out. FAR superior ride to stock TRD OR suspension......especially at highway speeds on rough concrete interstate!

    I have deaver 1.5 with 885s up front, prerunner. So you have no issue with that block still? My front is high, my back needs another inch. It's either that or I get shorter coils and front lift.

    Block has since been removed. Front settled a bit, rear was then too high.

    thanks for the reply. How many miles? Any offroading? I'm around 2k miles hoping it settles in the front.

    My 885X's had done all the settling they would do in about 1000 miles. I've got more than 20,000 miles on the lift now. I do a LOT of off roading. Leaving @ first light in the morning, headed to Black Mountain Off Road Adventure Park in Harlan Ky for 3 days of fun!
