    886's w N90000's in the front. Dakars with N182's in the rear. Not really sure what I got cause I've never taken any measurements. Curious to see how the 886's do when I put my Allpro front bumper on that is sitting in Calgary, wish it was in my garage.

    Upon initial install.
    What did you put up front & what did you get?
    885x on 90000 Sport Nitros gave me 2.5".
    What did you put in back & what did you get?
    1.5 AAL gave me 2" with shell.
    Are you running trail armor & how much lift did you loose or what did you do to regain/maintain lift?
    Not yet, I have a Relentless front bumper on order. Sliders and skids arent far off though.
    Tire & wheel specs & rub or what you did to eliminate rub.
    265/75R16 Toyo AT II on stock wheels. No rub & no trim.
    Are you still running a sway bar?
    Not yet. Next days off, if its above freezing.

    Keith - looking to go to pretty much that exact same height (although 885s will probably do for me). A couple of questions for you:


    • Did you get new UCAs?
    • Did you get the spacer plate?
    • What tire/rim size you running?
    Thanks!

    AZ Mike- yes I got LR UCAs, I didn't get them right away and it was awful. Truck felt really weird on the highway, Caster was out of spec. Also I would jack the front of the truck up by the frame and the stock UCAs were resting against the coil springs-not good. Some say they can get alignment specs in with 885s, great , but your down travel is next to nothing with the stock UCAs. Also I'm not running any top plate spacers and I have 17x9 rims and 265's. I would definetly go with the 285s next time around.

    What did you put up front & what did you get?
    LR UCAs, N140S shocks, 885Xs, trim packer, and TP14 spacers = 2.75" lift
    What did you put in back & what did you get?
    N182 shocks, Wheelers 3-leaf 1.5" AAL with overload installed = 1.25-1.5" lift
    Are you running trail armor & how much lift did you loose or what did you do to regain/maintain lift?
    No armor
    Tire & wheel specs & rub or what you did to eliminate rub.
    265/70/17 Duratracs on Sport rims with Spidertrax wheel spacers. Very minor rubbing on the mudflaps at full lock in reverse...not enough to concern me
    Are you still running a sway bar?
    Sway bar is still installed. If I was going to offroad more I would consider pulling it.

    FWIW, I had stock UCAs prior to installing the spacers (e.g. <2.5" of lift) and my truck handled like crap because the caster was only 1.3* which is still "in-spec". Alignment numbers after the LR UCAs are in my build thread....handled 100% better. Never regretted investing in them.

    It looks a little "bro'ed" in the the picture because of the slope of my driveway. I wound up with about 0.5" of rake.

    I never measured mine but I think I get more than that. Rears alway flex more than fronts.

    My 4Banger AC is lighter than your V6 DCSB Pre which is why I get 3" from 885s.


    Jonny nice looking DCLB, the light almost makes it look like a DSM.
