    With the Wheelers you get less lift , but still improve load carrying characteristics , they also are set up so that one of the leafs can be removed to tailor to your desired firmness / ride height

    Just saying if you want to stay closer to stock height but with better load carrying manners than stock they might be a better choice for you

    You're right, that sounds like a better fit for what I'm trying to accomplish.

    King, TC +2"LT, 35's, Aluminum this and that.
    Double Cab Short Bed (no armor, or camper)
    Standard Dakar pack. (both are marked "+")
    King 2.5RR Extended travel, front and rear.
    LR UCAs.
    All other suspension components are factory, removed swaybar.

    Initial measurements were:
    FL 22.25 FR 23.25
    RL 25.00 RR 26
    Pretty nasty driver side lean. At first I was wishing I received one leaf pack marked "-".
    (Measured directly after install, no time to settle, Kings installed as received from DSM, no driver, can't remember fuel level)


    I put a couple hundred miles on it to let everything settle in, and I had to replace the tie rod ends, before I measured again for adjustment. Then I removed the Kings and cranked them up, the driver side to ~9 threads, and passenger side to ~4 threads. Went and got an alignment. Numbers are almost right on, 0 Toe, 0 Camber, +3 Caster.

    Final Measurements are:
    FL 23.25 FR 23.25
    RL 25.25 RR 25.25
    (Full tank of gas, no driver, ~600 miles on suspension, squeaks have begun:(, time to do OZ's fix.)

    Rear Left = RL, Rear Right = RR

    Sorry that wasn't clear enough. I wrote up a longer version of my install and adjustment experience, tried to truncate it.

    No, those were the numbers directly after installing the lift. Pre-coilover adjusting.

    Done.

    Big time.
    I made a mistake and bought a new 2012 Prerunner. Payed way too much and was only 2wd. Rode great though.
    I let that one go and picked up a 2007 4x4, but nearing 100k miles that suspension was tired compared to that new 2012.

    Too many to list
    Went from 23" to 24" on both sides in the rear with the OME pack with the AAL.
    I have a brute-force rear bumper with a swing away tire carrier & tire.

    Also worth nothing is the the Dakar pack had 40k on it before I got it and the AAL only had around 4k on it.

    Unless I messed up a measurement, my "3" lift" looks closer to a 2.5" lift in reality.
