    I just installed the Toytec 3" OME lift, using the 885x springs and the spacers recommended in the kit along with a 2" aal in the back. I was hoping for a slight rake, kind of like stock, and imo my truck is level to an ever so slight nose-up stance. Will the front end "settle" at all with this kit? Thanks.

    Mine did not settle , remove the spacers or get Dakars

    FWIW , it looks level to me

    Looks great also

    From what i've researched more than likely the REAR will settle... making the already slightly nose high look even more pronounced...

    I did not.

    I am very happy with the driving results, this is just a minor aesthetic change I would like to avoid (nose high). I think I will have to upgrade to new rear leafs in the near future, particularly if the rear settles.

    OME 3" lift with 885 coils. OME Shocks with TSB 1.5 AAL. 285/75/16 KM2s. XD Hoss 16" wheels. DDM Tuning 6000K HIDs, H10 6000K Fogs. BHLM. Debaged. 20% tint on front windows.
    That's how my truck looks (stance wise) you could take the spacers off and it will be about at level.

    I didn't pick the spacer option when buying my OME lift and my front end still can clear 285/75/16s with no problems after doing some fender trimming of course.

    They def do, I love the fit. I am not sure what the back space is, but they clear the stock uca's nicely and stick out of the wheel wells slightly for a nice look. I included another pic below, it is not a "down the line" shot, but will give you more of an idea. If you are going 16"s, give the Ivan's a look.

    Taking it in for an alignment today, will get some up so you can see the angles.

    I used the recommended in the Toytec kit, I am pretty sure they are 1/2". I think it would have been perfect for what I wanted if I did not install them. Btw, these are the 885x springs too.

    I did contact one of the vendors here about a reverse rear shackle that will raise the back 1/2", I think I am may go that route.

    I'm talking top op the boot to see if they are rubbing or if they are good. Truck looks great though how you like the ride?
