    I have a 2017 OR-DCSB and I like to hit the trails every now and then, at least 3 or 4 times a month, and I occasionally will tow my trailer with my ATVs. I saw this thread today and would you recommend this setup for someone like me? Keep in mind I haven't purchased any new tires yet so that's still up in the air. I figured I would want to base my tires off my lift/suspension.

    I believe this setup would be exactly what you would want for what you do!

    I Just picked up Dakars with OME shocks for the rear gonna intall Saturday. I was running a toytec AAL in the rear and its starting to sag. Ive got the toytec coils and top plate spacer in the front. I think it should set well and raise the rear for some rake for towing, because its always sat slightly higher in the front with my camper top and RTT. Any tips for install?

    Are the OME coils side specific like the factory Toyota coils (the left is stiffer than the right due to the weight of the gas tank) or do they come with a spacer for the left to offset the weight of the tank?
