    Oh, one more thing - you are changing ride height so you HAVE to get an alignment asap. Some put it off but my advice, don't wait o_O

    Nope, no spacers. I went with the full kit from @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc . I ended up replacing the front dakar bushings with Energy Suspension prior to install. Used wheelers for that as well. Also installed their super bumps stops and ordered the AAL for the Dakars. Regret not ordering the AAL to begin with - wouldn't have to take it all apart and reinstall. The weight from my cap and stuff in the bed is enough I should've considered that AAL. Oh well. Happy, can't complain. Used (x2) energy suspension's formula 5 grease for the front hangar bushings and the shackle bushings/bolts

    $19 Energy Suspension - 9.11104 8 OZ TUB OF FORMULA 5 PRELUBE

    Had to bulk pack the grease gun - messy as hell, wish they sold that stuff in tubes.

    Didn't take before measurements but right now it's approximately (middle of hub to flare) 23.5 in the rear, 24.5 in the front. Again, cap and about 150lbs or so in the back.

    so after seeing some of you guys with v6 DC prerunners, im still undecided..
    Ome882s, or 881s with a 3/8"spacer plates for a close to 3inch lift.
    (stock bumper)
    Decisions... :annoyed:

    If you have no plans at all for the bumper and intend on leaving it stock (nothing wrong with that), I would stick with the 881s. You could do 882s but as I understand it and why I didn't go with them, much rougher ride.

    If I may ask, what is your ultimate goal/tire size?

    I have had 881s but the 882s ride infinitely better than what I had stock. A little firm but I wouldn't say rough. They're the same coil weight as 881s just like 20mm longer (feel free to correct me on that)

    It rides firm but not rough. It definitely rides better after springs break in. Also I removed the sway bar it helped smooth out the harsh bumps. Before it was was saggy lca were flat up front, rear 2 inches from bump.

    Rear was 35 inches from the ground to the bottom of the flare in the center of the wheel before 39.5 in after. Front was 35in from the ground to the bottom of the flare before 39 1/4 after. It had come down some after break in. I'm on 285s now, let me take a frame measurement

    I went with the 883 and dakars also, ride is much better than before but my stock suspension was lacking. No complaints

    Truck looks sweet with those new wheels and tires. Did you notice a difference in the ride going to a load E tire?
