    Lift, wheels, tires
    Maybe wrong style lug nuts and or wrong hub bore on the wheels. Might need some of those hub centric rings. Not to sure just spit balling here. I agree with Chad, wheels and tires shouldn't squeak. Piggy backing on his idea it could be the extra strain causing axle wrap making the leafs squeak.

    EDIT: Might want to check U Joints

    Whoops! Thank you :fistbump:

    Definitely want a nice set of leaf packs to compliment the lift.

    Those are the rear shocks I run with my Dakars and have been pleased with them for a while.

    Going to get some 884s and 5100s for the front end soon

    That Billy life :D

    I’m back to debating whether I go 5100s/885s/AAL or spindles. If I go spindle lift, will I need a cmc or new UCAs in order to run 285/75/16?

    Should not need new UCA unless you plan to add lift on top of the spindle in the 3" range

    Im at 5" lift up front on stock UCA

    Alignments are spot on, never had a single issue.

    Naw, 4” is my absolute max so I wouldn’t be going any higher. Do you know what size AAL I would be looking to need in order to keep the truck level/keep slight rake intact?

    Oh yeah, with those heavy bumpers its essential to have a spring rated for the weight.

    Im about to go down that road here shortly :eek: :D :spy:

    Ugh. Wanted to keep it under $1000. What’s the benefit of going full pack over AAL?

    It's not completely necessary to get new leafs...

    But my factory leafs from Toyota were just so saggy and I didnt feel like running them anymore.

    I like the increased load capacity and I generally feel like I made my truck better.

    Okay makes sense. I don’t haul/pull much of anything so load capacity is more of a back burner issue for me. The only rear options for lifting are leafs and blocks correct? I’m definitely staying away from blocks.

    You can throw a 3 leaf progressive AAL in there and be alright (or single leaf with an axle shim)

    There are options lol​

    Not sure about how much lift those will get ya, but somebody should know.

    HAHA!!! I seriously asked like 10 thousand questions before I made a decision

    One thing I would recommend is to talk to Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road

    She will take good care of you and get you the best deal for your needs/budget

    No doubt! Definitely wanna be 100% confident in a decision to spend that kind of money. Thanks for the help! I started conversing with Marie via email recently and she’s definitely been helpful for me.
