    Installed my Wheelers 3 leaf aal today. It raised the rear up somewhere between 1" and 1 1/4". There is no flat ground anywhere. No wonder nobody can figure out how the Great pyramids were made, we cant even make flat ground. The ride is great even with my stock Bilstein rear shocks. I will change them pretty soon.

    Looks great! Did you leave the overload leaf in or take it out??

    I removed the overload leaf. Although now that I see the actual lift on my truck I think I would leave the overload on. The 1/2" of lift would be just fine. I am really impressed with the ride quality. Most single aal leafs make a truck ride like a dually. The Wheelers 3 leaf progressive rides great.
    I have set of Geolanders that will be going on tomorrow afternoon. That should work a lot better in the desert with the lift and new tires.

    I have the icon 3 pack which I believe is the same and I agree. It rides amazing. I ended up putting my overload back in though. Bad bro lean :/

    Based on how your lift came out setting the 5100s at 0, how would the same set up sounds set at .85?! Too much?!

    What's with some members getting 2.5 - 2.75" from the 884s? That's way too much for what I'm looking for. I don't want to install them hoping for 2" and end up closer to 3".

    Bilstein 5100 with 884 Springs. Full audio system. Stealth 6 Wheels. Cali led light.
    When my 884's first installed on my 2015 TRD Sport Double cab I was more than 2 inches. Now after settling i'm about 2 inches now.

    From my reading not my experience, most people with more than 2" are either access cab or Prerunner. 4x4 dcsb is generally very close to 2". Read the OME lift heights thread. Good stuff there.

    I also avoided any racially biased jokes within my post. :devil:

    Looking forward to seeing the truck once the tires are installed. I am planning to do something similar on my '08 DCLB, I'm set on the 265/70/17s but still deciding on what/how much lift I am looking for

    Bilstein 5100's on all four corners. Front set @ 0 with OME 883x coils. Alcon leaf springs. Viper Alarm. Wet Okole seat covers. WeatherTech Floor liners front and back. Oem Toyota chrome exhaust tip. ARE Shell. America Outlaw Wheels.
    OK so from what I am reading, my understanding is. If I go with the OME 884 with Billies at 0 on a prerunner I Will get closer to 2 1/2 " or more ? I am looking to get 2" becouse more then that is when you start having issues. I now have 883 with Billies at 0 and I have 1 1/2 on driver side and 1 3/4 on passenger. If I did the Taco lean spaces on both side what size would I go on each side?
