    New member here. That setup looks great. What size tires and wheels are you running there? I'm about to pull the trigger on a 3" OME and leaning toward 275/70/17 KO2 and M/T Classics.

    I also have an access cab. Looking to go same size tires with OME. Only difference is I have a shell. Did you get light/medium duty or heavy duty dakars?

    Your truck sits perfect (imo). I have the same truck, only a 4cyl. Did you have to get longer brake lines, a diff drop, CB, UCA's, etc? I'm looking @ doing this lift/tire size also, just having trouble figuring out what will work for the lighter 4 cyl. Sry, I know this is an old post. Thx!

    I'm resurrecting old threads :D

    How have you liked the 885's & Dakar pack? I'm thinking of doing the same setup though I've got more weight behind me and a little more up front. Are you still running OME or have you switched out to something different?

    There is also this thread that is very helpful for OME.

    Truck looks great! Did you go with the light duty or heavy duty Dakars in back? I also have an access cab but I have a shell so wasn't sure if I should get 884 and light duty or 885 and heavy duty. Thanks!

    That's a five year old post from a member that hasn't been on in 2+ years :)

    Not sure what you're trying to achieve with you lift so it's hard to answer.

    Haha thanks for letting me know. I have a 2015 TRD OR access cab with a leer shell, 265/75r16 KO2s and Ray 10s.
    I'm trying to lift it 2 inches or only slightly more.
    Trying to achieve better off road performance and better looks.
    I like the look of 2 inch lift with 265s (tire size to lift hight looks right to me).

    Here is what mine looked like with 884 and an AAL, 265/75. With your cap and AC I think 884s and light duty dakars would get you there.

    One more question since you have the setup. How much better off road would you say it is vs stock TRD OR suspension... are we talking a small percentage or twice as good?

    It's better for sure but it's been a long time since I had that setup. If i was going for mild lift and better capabilities, I would do 884s again.

    Glad I found this site and this thread , just picked up a gen1 4x4 and it needs all new shocks and I assume springs since it is original at 180k .
    Anyway I am torn between piecing together stuff or just buying a OME complete kit to start with. Lots of great info here .
