    I'm pretty sure the ATX's only come in E rated.

    You just brought me to my next question. Is the one linked a whole leaf pack? I couldn't tell because it said extra leaf in the option select

    Thank you!

    Oh okay that makes sense. Thanks so much for the help. Now onto my next dilemma: 882 vs 883?

    I can't find meaningful information on the difference between these two springs. I've found a couple 4runner threads that say the 882's are actually stiffer then the 883's. Go back a hundred pages or so in this thread and folks say the opposite.

    Ultimately I want to run this bumper: https://trail-gear.com/120191-1-kittacoma-rock-defense-low-profile-front-bumper.html

    Weight isn't listed but I can't imagine it's as heavy as some of the plate bumpers folks run.

    No winch. Wheelers recommended the 883 for a double cab v6

    Thanks. No AAL. I considered it and was talked into trying it as is first. I'm happy with it, but if I were going to add a heavy bumper, I'd do an AAL. No build out in the camper yet either.

    For those of you in here who have 2.5-3” lifts and 285/75/16’s I have some questions regarding alignment before I throw my OME suspension on next weekend

    1. I love a slightly stiff steering that returns to center well and holds a straight line. I understand good positive caster provides this, but too much will cause bump steer. I have a set of SPC arms that’ll be installed, and I’m wondering what you guys set your caster at. 2.5? 3?

    2. for those of you who have your caster set to the above... well, how’s it steer? Like stock? Better? Worse?

    3. How is everyone doing today?

    Another question: I have a 04 Doublecab v6, have dakars and the AAL. Wondering if I need the AAL at the moment, will be throwing 882's up front with nitrochargers all around. Want some rake, but not stupid rake.

    OME 882
    Nitro chargers all around
    Dakars with AAL in back
    SPC UCA’s
    Diff drop kit from toytec
    And the standard brake proportioning and exhaust relocation installed.
    285/75/16 cooper stt pro’s
    16x8 SCS F5 wheels with 3.5mm backspacing
    1.25” spidertrax spacers all around

    shout out to my good friend for getting this together for me yesterday, just waiting on alignment. Firestone by me refused to touch the SPC UCA’s. Smh.

    For all the worry that 882’s aren’t stiff enough and that folks should do 883’s, they are plenty stiff.
