    Ahhh, pre-runner. Good thing, that's a lot of lift if you were 4x4. Not sure how much more weight is in front on a 4x4, that obviously makes some of the difference but I have no idea how much. The more lift you have, the less down travel you have though so hopefully it settles some for you.

    Hey guys I need your help, I installed my OME lift kit with a pair of Light Racing UCAs a couple of weeks ago. I got my alignment done at Sears today. How are my alignment specs and should I make any adjustments? Got some 265/75R16 Duractrac's on if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance!

    Might have to go back and have them adjust it. Also the guys there at Sears were saying that my tire size plays a major factor in getting the alignment right, is there any truth to that??

    no. and if u have light racing ucas that's a shitty alignment. lazy techs not willing to put some time into achieving a good alignment.

    After an 1800 mile road trip and some drive shaft issues at speed (70), I finally added the 3 degree TOYTEC shims today. Took care of all driveline vibration and added an additional 1/2 lift in the rear. Left the CBD in place and all is well paired together

    Did you have to change your U-bolts? All was fine for me initially, but now I think I may have to add some axle shims too because of drive shaft vibrations...

    new u bolts are recommended. Also not sure what you're running in the back but with my dakars you def need longer ones.

    I got new U-Bolts from TOYTEC for when I put on the Dakars about 3K miles ago. They were fine and did not get new ones

    I recently put in the 3" lift with 90000 shocks and 885 coils. I wanted to know if any one has done something similar and an install of a full winch bumper(winch,rope etc) and if it affected the lift? like an all pro apex or something similar.

    Thanks
