    Finished! Waiting on terra grapplers and alignment.

    Surprised how smooth the ride is. OME is nice.

    I spoke to Toytec and according to them the favourable weight is 110 lbs in the front for a double cab. I was gonna order the U.S off road winch mount out too but then decided against it. I order the Apex aluminum instead.

    I have the 885 coils as well...lets see how it goes. Need to find a lightweight winch as well.

    So they're saying the 885's are a good match for 110 lbs on a double cab?

    FWIW I have an Relentless aluminum bumper which is ~60lbs with a Warn MS800 which is ~65lbs and I have 886s on a DC. The ride is good, not too stiff.

    I ran 886s without any weight for a year, ride was not the best but better now with all the weight.

    Why would you want 886's with minimal weight up front if you coild go with 887's though ?

    887s have been working out really well for a number of people.

    Thx man. Rides pretty nice. I get alignment tomorrow morning. Feels like I have a little shudder on taking off. I'll have to look into it.

    so my issues i was posting about earlier about my driver side still being quite a but lower even after new coils.. I think i have another idea i want to try to help rule some things out. I want to swap the OME shocks to the opposite side themselves and see if that helps. any thoughts on this?
