    Thank ODNAREM. When the thought crossed my mind to get a Tacoma I started lurking on this forum and doing some research. Two weeks before I got the truck I registered as a member so I could view peoples build threads and ask some questions. So thanks to all those who helped along the way essentially answering the same questions that had already been answered in the past.

    My truck looks the way it does because I had a vision of what I wanted, the help and advice of the members from this forum helped achieve that. So thank you all.

    Another Hallmark moment brought to you by......

    Yeah I'm on Vancouver Island. Interesting about the AAL stuff. I told the guy who did my lift that I didn't want any rear end sag when I had the canopy on the truck and a weeks worth of camping gear for four people in the back. I also carry four bikes from the hitch mounted bike rack on our camping trips. Could be why he left the overload springs in.

    Nice ride! :) Kudos on dumping the Dunlops. Best decision I made on my own SR5!

    I just put a full OME 2.5-3" lift on mine couple days ago. Used 887's up front and full Dakar Leaf Pack in the rear. It does indeed ride stiffer than the brand new factory leafs. But the ride feels more sure.

    But changing from the Dunlops to my Michelins made the ride much more sure too!
