    Was this the 2" kit? Thinking about going with the 2" kit with the leaf spring pack.

    Yes it was the 2" kit. The blocks were fine but the leaf pack made a huge difference in smoothing out the ride.

    So. Many. Stickers.
    Good call. Leaf packs over blocks any and every day. And they're well priced

    How do the Dobinsons leaf pack compare to the Dakars? Let’s say the medium (6-leaf) pack setting.

    Virtually the same as far as load support and lift height goes when comparing the 111s. But Dobinsons don't make noise, that's the main difference.

    Dobinsons has 4 different packs in total for Tacos

    Thanks and congrats. I'm running 265/70/17 on Black Rhino Warlords with KO2's. I'm not sure of the offset as I bought the truck used and they were already on it. I plan to switch to 255/80/17 when funds permit as these KO2's are almost done.

    Just picked up the 2inch kit with med springs and rear blocks. Any issues with alignment with stock uca’s. I asked mainland off-road about driver side needle bearing and they said they have not had issues with vibration. Anyone have any issues or anything else? Will prob install in a bit after warranty and tires are done.

    Congrats. I'm still running the stock uca's and the factory needle bearing at 72k. I have roughly 4000 miles now on the kit with zero issues. I'm very happy with this set up.

    My truck is at 130K miles, 70K of them lifted and i have never had vibrations and still running stock UCA. Using Dobinson C59-352 coils and GS59-221 Struts, had a 1.5" block in back but now have All-Pro Expo springs.

    352 coils are heavy duty springs. No good or didn’t fit purpose. I’m going to run the med springs as recommended. Thanks for all the responses

    Totally, run whatever they recommend. That’s what Mike recommended I run since I have front bumper/winch/skid.

    Do the C59-302's give a true 1.6in lift? Its not going to be more? 1.6 is right about what I am looking for.

    I will be putting mine on in a couple of weeks with Bilstein 5100’s set on the bottom. I will post up when I get them installed.

    I will also do a 1” add a leaf in the rear. But I will take the measurements before and after I do the rear. I assume there will be some settling also.
