    Thanks again for the input. It will probably be a couple more months till I pull the trigger, but I will post pics once its installed.

    That's odd you had to press your bushing in like that. Mine went in with pretty much no effort. Makes me wonder if the bushings I got differ from the ones you and others used.

    Just put on the OME nitrocharger lift and I can't believe how nice it rides. Way better then stock. It rides waaaaaaay better then my buddies 5100's set at max with stock springs. Because of the way his rode I was wanting something better and this is.

    I got 2.5" with the below lift with 1.5" in the rear
    OME 90021 shocks
    OME 884 springs
    Trim packer
    OME 60091 sport rear shocks
    1.5" rear lift blocks ( I know!!! will install new spring pack after taxes)

    From center hub to lip of fender
    LF 22 3/4
    RF 23
    LR 23.5
    RR 23.5

    Even with the trim packer I still have 1/4 taco lean. If this settles down a half inch I will throw on a 1/4" top plate.

    Question, I have 2500 miles on my truck so the old suspension is still good, how much is it worth to sell?

    It's a 2014 DCSB TRD, I am sure it will settle closer around 2"

    ok got a question for the experts in the room. I just installed 885's/90021's upfront with 7mm trim packer on driver side and 1/2" top plates spacers on both sides. And, I'm only sitting at about 22 1/4" on both sides...? I expected to be at 23.5" for a full 3" lift with the 1/2" top plates. I have a 3/8" spacer I'm thinking about stacking to get to 3". What do you guys think? How much more spacer do I need to get to 3"?

    Oh yeah, Merry Christmas!

    Merry Christmas fellas! I took some pics of the bushing kit Toytec sent me and the fit into the rear spring eyes. I sent the same pics to toytec for their opinion but looks a little loose to me.

    Theos, do you remember if yours were about this fit?

    nope...it's the right way. I double checked that this time caus I had the same problem with my 885's/5100's.
    I'll post a pic as soon as I can. I've had several people look at it too.

    You realize the 5100 perch and the OME perch go in different directions ?

    Yes sir. In fact I had a buddy install it while I was at work and they installed one of them upside down the first time around. This is when the perch was installed upside down...right?[​IMG]

    No, the bushings Wheelers sent me were black and seemed to fit just right. Not too loose and not needing tools to get them in. I used Superlube on all areas that could possibly have friction

    Yeah that's what I noticed as soon as I picked it up. But I had it flipped and I'm still at my height. I have no other choice but to add another spacer. But if I'm only getting 22.25" with 1/2" spacer do you think I'll be able to add a 3/8" spacer to it and end up right under 3" total lift?
