    Running 265 75 r16 tires. I don't think I will pull a leaf out of the pack (it is not recommended anyway), I will be adding a camper shell in the future so it should settle some.
    I had the trim packer preinstalled on my drivers side by Wheelers, so no taco lean.

    Huh. Thanks for the answer. I swore I read around here that removing a leaf was recommended by ARB or a vendor to reduce the lift if wanted....hmmm

    Yeah, I read the opposite on other forms about removing a leaf.

    I also forgot to mention that I installed the ARB grease able shackles which i believe are slightly longer than the stock ones.

    It's fine to remove a leaf.

    I've read of many people removing one of the overload leafs. IIRC it was the upper one. Also, some have also removed the 3rd leaf from the top to decrease the amount of lift provided as well.

    I removed one leaf from my CS019R pack. Shit was waaaaaay stiff and I had like 5" over stock is my guess. I removed the third from top leaf, not an overload. Ride is still kidney shattering but it looks cool and goes over rocks (sometimes :anonymous:)

    For what it's worth, I've had 881's on my double cab with no added weight in the front for about a year and my CV angles are fine...they've settled a good amount. I don't have exact measurements but with the 10mm trim packer I got about 2.5 inches of lift.

    Thinking about going with an OME set up for my 2004 prerunner. I'm not looking for too high of a lift 2-2.5" as I don't want to HAVE to get new UCA's right away and I don't want stuff to wear out too fast. I'm mostly looking to take the truck camping, on surf trips to Mexico, and what not. Nothing too crazy that would be needed for a rock crawling set up. What set up would you recommend as far as stiffness and what not?

    Finally got around to getting some black wheels on her. Found a used set of stockers that had already been plastidipped but needed a good freshening up. 20160925_175017.jpg 20160925_172810.jpg
    OME 881's and Dakars w/AAL and nitros all around. 285/75 16's only a little frame rub when turning full clock left.

    Do you have any added weight to your truck? Are you running on your leaf packs from 2004? I'd say go with 881 coils with nitrochargers shocks all around, then depending on the condition of your leafs you may get away with just an AAL to keep level. Or if you want new leafs and want a full OME setup go with the Dakars, you won't regret it..

    This is the setup I'm running aside from the longer shackles, and it works amazing all together. You might end up with a bit of rake but when you're hauling gear you will sit pretty close to level. The 881's aren't too stiff. The 882's will give you same stiffness but more lift.

    And for the record, I have not posted any pictures since putting in the Dakars and longer shackles, the pictures I've posted are with just an AAL in the rear.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm planning on maybe a front bumper at some point but I'm at stock weight. I'm also on my stock leafs as well. 881's sound best. I'm looking to have a nice ride and a lift. Not just a good lift and a stiff ride that's not better than what I had before.

    I haven't seen any pictures of your set up but if you're willing shoot me a message to show me what's up.

    Your truck doesn't have crazy rake? Thats the setup I would like, just afraid of having an insane rake with dakars+AAL with 881's and nitros

    Looks awesome! You have a prerunner double cab too? Nice! What tires you running now?

    Loving the look of it all, looking mean!
