    yea I would love to know the up / down travel impacts by selecting each notch....

    I would want the taller lift, but would not want to lose any up or down travel at all

    Incorrect, 2nd gen and 3rd gen are not the same.

    Interchangeable, yes, but a lift kit for 2” of lift on a second gen will give roughly 1” on a third gen. Third gens come 1” talker so the geometry changes slightly

    2nd gen have less notches for adjustment. 3rd gen have more and are advertised to stagger to make up the diff in driver's side lean.

    Are these in stock everywhere now? Last I was following is that there was a nation wide back order.

    I talked to Marie at headstrong and she put me on a waitlist for them due to the nationwide shortage. About 4 days later she said they were in stock. Good route to go if you want to be informed when they come trickling in.

    5F580411-C3A8-445B-B66B-76065DA17651.jpg Have em on notches 5/6 along with headstrongs aal at 1.5” without the overload leaf. Rides awesome compared to the stock TRD OR shocks and i removed the front sway bar. Body roll isn’t awful at all and rides great so far.

    Looks awesome bro, this helped me decide which setting I was gonna put the front on, was debating either on 5/4 or 6/5....6/5 it is for me. Waiting on my shocks to come and do my lift this upcoming week. Any UCA installed?

    How's the Headstrong AAL setup? Did it give you 1.5" lift or did you get something different? I'm trying to find a good AAL setup to pair with my 6112/5160s and was going to go with the ICON AAL. But now that you mention the Headstrong AAL I'm starting to reconsider.

    Thanks man! Negative on the uca’s, alignment was still all good and no tire rubbing, sitting on 265/70-17’s. Glad i could help!

    It did give me 1.5” so it’s just slightly higher than the front which is what i wanted. It seems slightly stiffer but not in a bad way at all. I’m very happy with it until i purchase a new leaf pack down the road.

    Did you install the AAL? I'm pretty good with engines, but have never dealt with leaf springs before so im curious how difficult they are.

    This is the set up I was going to run.
    I could not afford it at the time and that was about 2 yrs ago.
    I ended up with 5100's all the way around.
    I am pleased with set up but come tax time if this pricing is still available I will run this set up.
    Cant imagine I would be disappointed for the cost.

    Interested in your experience so far.

    oh I'm not saying they are bad at all! I wheel with a lot of guys that have 255s and are very happy with them.

    it's sheer personal preference / looks.... I like 265 or 285 width and think 255s look great from the side, but like spare donut tires from the rear
