    @ woody: I went with the 885 coils and top plate spacer.

    @ hardground: the 4 different pics are for 4 different types of vehicles. OME only makes one type for tacomas

    Me too! It will probably still be about 2 weeks. I need to receive my suspension from Wheelers, tires and wheels, and front and rear offroad bumper from Relentless. Everything is already paid for, just gotta receive em.

    You wll be happy im sure! i set them at 3in but im guessing the weight up front dropped it a tad. I just realized that pic is kinda misleading because its still kinda on jack stands. When i get back from colorado ill throw my mud tires and wheels back on and take some more pics.

    Its killing me not having those AP leafs on, im ready to see how they feel.

    Is this a level setup? Or do the expedition leafs crank the rear up too much when unweighted?
