    How much lift do you have?
    You have 885 and a top spacer? what size top spacer?

    I like the stance of your truck, but it looks tall. Got my tires 265/70/17, just trying to finalize the lift, going with the 885 and their new shocks, not sure if I need top spacer, going for 2"- 2/12" of lift.

    How are the 885's and ome shocks? alot stiffer?

    Thanks CopDoctor, looks good!

    I did a ton of searches and it was hard to find pictures. What made you decide to put 32's on instead of 33's?

    I have the OME 885's with the top plate spacer and 2" rear AAL's My tires are 285/65-18"s and they are technically supposed to be 33"s but they measure out to be more like 32.6"s. But you get the idea.

    So, with my limited knoweledge, this is what I see:

    pros of 32's:
    -dont have to trim
    -dont need to buy new uca's or wheels
    -get better gearing
    -get better mileage
    -get more power

    cons:
    -don't look as bad ass
    -lose less than an inch of clearance

    but IMO these all look pretty damn good with 32's and a lift...

    Well if you go with a full 3"s, you still might need new UCA's and its actually preffered you get them so you can get your alignment back into specs.

    yea i got their new sport shocks, 885 coils, and however big the top plate from the kit is, not sure how big it is. i think i have a bit over 3in, maybe just a tiny bit over. for 2-2.5 you definitely don't need the spacer, 885 coils will get you about 2.5-2.75 or so

    as far as the ride, it's pretty good, tiny bit rougher than stock but extremely smooth on the interstate and when airing down for wheeling? man, like a damn cloud

    Yeah, I am happy with how it sits. Level. I didn't need UCAs so I sold the LR pair I had purchased to a member on here. The ride is firm, but I like it like that.

    From what I have read, 884 coils on a v6 access cab with out spacers should only lift it about 2". If that is the case (can anyone confirm this?), would there still be a need for new uca's?

    I am at 2.5" or so with 884 and top plate. Plenty for my needs.

    eh, lots of guys don't have UCAs..sure your truck wanders and yea it's not completely in alignment spec but i don't see a need for it. after a few days driving it you get very used to it and i'm not about to go spend $900 to stop the truck from wiggling a tiny bit
