    Thanks! Its an OME with 885s and Dakar leafs. The topper really helps out with keeping the Dakars at bay. They were a little stiff prior to putting the top on, now they are perfect.

    Nice, might be the driveway but looks like you have some rake. Not running top plates? And this v

    When you question why, on a public forum, people run light bars (particularly in a way that can be construed as somewhat condescending) you should expect "third parties" to join the conversation. After all, discussion is the purpose of a forum.

    There still is a little rake to it but I like it that way. When I load the bed I dont like a lot of rear squat. No, I didnt add the top plates and I did leave the sway bar. The OME stuff has been on almost since it rolled off the lot. I swapped it out at about 1000 miles or so. I am going to put either ICON or Kings on once these shocks start to wear out. Here is another shot with it out in the dirt..

    Thanks, I appreciate it. Its starting to get there. I have a 73 FJ40 that I am semi-restoring so the Taco has got put on the back burner. I started finally upgrading more the past couple of months. Aside from the lift it sat unchanged for over 2 years.

    Been looking all over the site for almost a year trying to plan my build ... I have a quick question regarding the 5100 Billy's

    I have a 2009 Access cab TRD OR with 4 leafs in back (canada)

    Will the 2.5 setting level me without a AAL or will I even need a AAL?

    Set on duratracks tires and painting my OR wheels black till more cash

    Lookin to get the dealership to install soon... Has this truck since fall and the stocky - ness is killing me

    Setting the 5100's at 2.5'' will make the front end higher. If you are really set on the 2.5'' setting, then I would suggest getting rear 5100's and the Toytec 1.5'' AAL.

    1.75 should level you out without a AAL Did for me on my 09 Access cab. Are you 4x4? If so the extra weight may need the 2.5 to level.

    I would get Billy's on all 4 corners ...

    I don't mind a little rake forward but defiantly don't want a lean...

    I'm not set on any setting as of now just starting to figure out what needs ordering to level nicely ... I wouldn't mind fitting 285's in the future so I wanna do it right
