    The job is loads easier if you remove the leaf pack from the truck entirely. I've done 5 AALs now, both progressive and single.

    I used LCA method. My taco lean wasn’t correct even using 1/4 spacer. Here my numbers after alignment.

    Yeah I had the same set up and ran 265x75r16 and ran it for over a year. I enjoyed it alot. I than wanted something a lil more versatile offroad and changed my suspension.

    It’s where you mark your alignment cams with a sharpie, loosen the bolts, then unbolt the LCA from the spindle.

    Once you undo the shock, the LCA just swings free giving you a clear path to get out the coilover.

    My cams have sharpie marks all over them :anonymous:

    Bought some 285/70/17 Falken Wildpeaks last night while drinking at 2am haha. Should be here in a few days. Will go on some SCS stealth 6's I have in my garage, and my lift kit is finally ready to be installed. Big things coming I'm excited.

    Put this together today... Waiting on Amazon to finally send my 3/4” hole punch, so I can get this mounted!

    It’s killing me just sitting there!

    Looks like you had to get crafty with the intake. Is that the model for the the 2012? How do you like it? Great looking truck!

    Hey, thanks! Actually it bolted right up, no issues @ all. It's basically the exact same truck minus the front headlights, grille, bumper, and hood.

    Sorry..A couple more questions.

    Did you add any shims under the leaf pack?? Any drive shaft vibrations?

    Doh! That's a 4 cylinder, huh? :facepalm:It'd be a LOT more work to get that intake to fit in a v6.
