    Yea make sure to get new bushings for sure. I just reused my stock top plate..didn't feel like shelling out the cash for the new ones. To pricey.

    Wheelers 5 pk isn't going to level it out or even just a 1.5'' aal. You will have bro lean. I have the 5pk and 1.5'' shackles and still had bro lean. Put the aal in it with all the above and now i have rake(even more rake due to bumper but not horrible)

    really? Isn't the front end about an inch lower than the rear stock? So If the eibachs get me 3-3.5, and the rear is at about 2.75'', shouldn't that be level? I dont want a rake, I want it level.

    Maybe I could do the toytec 2'' Long AAL and keep the shackles? and is the toytec AAL made by Deaver? Anyone knows who makes the Icon AAL's?

    no idea on Icons aal..

    and you have to remember 1.5'' shackles don't give 1.5'' of lift, its actually about .75'' of lift.

    But i think after they had settled a bit it might have been close to level. Idk, i also just went with the AAL as i wanted a beefier pack due to all the future extra weight come that will be back there

    Ok, that makes sense.

    I may end up going w/ the Toytec AAL, I like that its made by Deaver (US made), and i dont want to end up with too little of lift in the rear and end up with bro lean :eek:

    And its cheaper than the Icon AAL. I just dont want the single AAL to stiffen the hell out of the rear and make it ride like shit. The Icon would probably ride better because its 3 leaf progressive.

    Really, i always felt that the toyotec aal with eibachs made bro lean..

    Yes the icon would ride better but i have only heard that and don't know first hand about icon.

    you also should keep in mind that you are a 4cyl so really you should expect like 3-4'' of lift. you might just have to readjust once you get some stuff..

    His shackles are about 3" longer than stock so 1.5" of lift.

    I have the Dakar leaf pack which provides 2.25" of lift with my 1" lift shackles to give me a nice rake. Without the shackles I was level with maybe a slight bro lean but I have the V6. I think you'll need around 2.5" of lift total to be level since you have a 4 cylinder. I don't really have experience with the AALs personally but I have heard the Icon AAL rides pretty well.

    Or with the eibachs you can just add a winch and bumper and skids to bring them back down to 3 plus with just my bumper and skids the ride is a ton better...it just kind of glides over bumps on the highway now!

    Thanks, so with the ICON AAL, and my shackles I should get about 3'' of lift...

    I plan on doing armor and skids, but not a winch.

    Probably around there, based on how worn your leaf springs are you may be less than 3" though.

    Are you talking about the front coils?

    Because if you are, the toytec springs are the eibach springs, and they only come in one "size." (3''+ lift)
