    I'm looking at getting the OME lift for my 2001 tacoma. Currently has a crappy spacer and block lift running 285/75/16 Toyo MTs. I want the truck to be evenly lifted front to back. If I get 883 front coils and the dakar leaf springs will that achieve an even lift. Currently running an all pro apex bumper and plan on adding a winch about the same time as I do the lift. A rear bumper is further down the road, but will happen eventually.

    I recently bought an OME Kit from Toytec and just went with the 2" rear add a leafs. I'll probably go with Dakars in the future but for now that's what's in my budget. Anyways, they didn't come with U-bolts, and I'm wondering if they were supposed to or not? It's just the two Deaver rear add a leafs. Thanks.

    The 883's or 882's and the Dakar pack (without the D6XL leaf) should level you out then. I ran the 881's with Dakars and had a slight rake with only an aftermarket bumper. Once you add the D6XL is when the rake becomes very noticeable.

    So the D6XL is in the dakar leaf pack and you just remove it?
