    Front ARB bumper, LR UCA's, OME 885/90021 struts, Ome shocks rear, general springs HD leaf pack.
    so i have just about decided on going with EMU nitro sport shocks 90021 also 60091 for the rear. with 885 springs to level the truck and increase performance and travel on my stock tacoma with arb bumper (that i dont intend to add a winch too). my hope is this will achieve around an 1-1.5 inch over stock lift.. hoping it will be pretty level? ( thinking if its a little tall i will order an AAL)

    Do you guys think theres any need for LR UCA's ? with less then 2 inches of lift should i be just fine or is the bennefit worth getting them right away? it is an extra 400$+.. or am i way off on my expectations of how much that set up would raise the front with the added arb weight.. thanks

    Yes sir
    Pretty easy; remove the tire, unbolt the sway bar and a few other small things like ABS wires, and then you can remove the coilover. Then you just bolt the spacer onto the top of the coilover and put it back together. I might have missed something but it's pretty straight forward.

    It's been a a little over a month and I love my ome lift.. Truck looks sexy and it handles everything I throw at it. Only knock on it is I can't really tell a difference in road driving plus I need to replace my needle bearing now cause I am getting vibrations in 2wd.

    Yes sir
    When I had spacers before OME, my spacer just came with bolts in it and holes for the bolts from the coil over, i guess the 1/4" spacer wouldn't come with bolts in it

    1/4" spacers don't require extended studs , thicker top plates do , so adding 3/8" spacers to an already assembled coil assembly would go the way you described if the extended studs were already in place

    Truck looks great. I'm going 884's and full dakars on my dclb in a couple weeks and hope for closer to 2" up front and 2.75" rear. I want some room to squat because I have a camper. I know the Dakars take some time to settle but I didn't thing the coils were like that. Maybe post a pic of the front components installed.

    How do you like the drive compared to stock?

    Love this picture! Like Oz said it will settle after being installed for a little bit. Stock size tires look a little tiny with the lift. Just moving up to a 265/75/16 will fill out the wheel wells and make it look a lot beefier. GL

    Ya I will prob go that exact size once these tires wear out. I am not super surprised about the front height, but about the rear height even with the top overload removed on the Dakars. Thought it would be way lower.

    I have [+] pack on drivers side, and [o] on pass. side.

    Removing the overload only drops the height by about 3/8" , the thickness of the overload leaf
