    Truck looks sharp but it does look like more than a 3" lift. Would you do me a favor and measure from the center of your hub to the bottom center of your wheel well opening both front and back and post up the results here?

    Thanks!

    i got 24 inches on the drivers side and 24 1/2 on passenger side. which is weird because i had toytec put the springs on the shocks for me and i was under the impression that they were putting the trim packer on to make both sides even. but oh well i would of never noticed if i didn't measure.

    If you are at/over 24 inches then you have more than 3 inches of lift. Must be those stiff springs? You have a V6 right?

    yeah i think it is higher then 3 but im glad i went with 886's i just added almost 100 pounds in skid plates and i still have my relentless bumper coming soon. so with all that weight im adding i think 886's were a good idea.

    so the ride is just firm? there are some that say it beats you up with 886's. if you were not getting the bumper would you still go with them? sorry im still trying to piece this together for myself. i read that they dont travel or articulate as well as 885's any thoughts on this? experience? Thanks!

    But do they articulate as much as the 885s? or are they less.
