    You'll love it! In my opinion it makes the ride better in every way. I'm looking forward for winter to be over so I can put summer wheels and tires on. Complete the look and get to try out those Falkens that everyone loves.

    Follow up on the follow up.

    Another 300 miles passed including the Holy Jim trail run.

    Measurements still about the same so it appears to have settled. Just took the same freeway route I took the first day after install and the firmness I had softened a little as even my wife complained less about it.

    Great bang for the buck if they can be found.

    If it's not a hassle, Could you post hub center to fender measurements?

    Take it with a grain of salt because my garage floor has seen better days, but I got about 22" drivers side and 22 1/4" passenger.

    Where are you sitting the rear?
    I'm at 21.75 driver, 22.25 passenger.

    Sorry I didn't measure rear. Didn't even think to since it was just a shock swap in back

    Okay, so I finally installed mine yesterday and I am very pleased, sadly I lost my my before measurements but I will post measurements when I'm able. Ride quality is awesome, better than my original trd off-road suspension by quite a bit. It feels more planted and forgiving, although I have not taken it off road yet but have put about 70miles on it between different roads and bumps testing it out. I installed the front springs/shocks and rear shocks, stock rear leafs are still in and it is a little nose high. Final thoughts, probably going to go with the general springs in the rear, and maybe the 1/4" spacer for the fronts to even it out more after the generals since people are reporting around 2" gain. The truck has a full tank of gas in both pictures. How much lift is the 1/4" spacer suppose to give? Anyone using it with this system? If so, what are you final measurements? Getting my 265/75r16 Falken 's on this week :). BTW, the install was super easy if your on the fence about doing it. Will post more soon maybe the truck will be clean by then! Cheers!!

    How are you liking the general springs compared to stock? and what kind of rake do you have?

    I like the ride better than on stock leafs. I’ve only driven 50 miles or so on the new suspension so I can’t give you a complete review yet. The truck drives a lot better. I think the general springs pair perfect with the trd kit. I listed measurements in a previous post. I think around 1.5 of rake so pretty much kept factory rake. I don’t think anyone would be unhappy with these springs.

    Did they come with everything you needed like bushings? are longer u-bolts needed?

    From all I've read not any impact at all since it's such a small spacer.

    Thanks for watching my channel. :thumbsup:

    Came with everything you need. Mine were kinda beat up from ups, but I just repainted them. You don’t need new ubolts. I reused my stock ones. I would recommend new ones if yours are old/rusty.

    awesome, that's what I was hoping for. so, it looks like I might be tearing everything down again when I get the front 1/4" spacer and the leaf pack... at least this time it will go quicker. until then I'll enjoy as is, I really like the ride better than the previous trd off road setup.

    Leaf replacement was a lot easier than I anticipated. I sprayed everything down with fluid film every few days for 2 weeks before install.

    I'm going the progressive AAL route on mine. I'm considering repainting everything while I'm in there as well. Did your leaf pack come with anti-friction pads? If so, did you paint over them?
