    Regardless on how you pay for a vehicle, the factory warrenty is still in affect. But, Yes, get a trim packer for the driver side. In the rear, get the OME n182 shocks.

    Ohhh okay. I thought for some reason it was those warrantys that are like 100,000 mile. Etc.. Okay I get it now. And by trim packer that would be just one of those 5mm right?

    Right. Its just a round ring that goes inbetween the spring seat, and the spring seat stop on the shock.

    hey chris is it okay if i get just 140 shocks for the front coils and keep my stock shocks in the back with the AAL or do i need to get all the same new shocks all around?

    and i know i need longer U bolts for my AAL's but am i going to need to buy longer brake cables or anything else in the front or does the 3" lift from toytec cover everything else i am going to need to lift my baby?

    Stock U bolts should have enough room for an AAL. You should replace the rear shocks, as the stock ones will top out, and could break a mount, or themselves. Dont need new brake lines, as the OEM ones are fine.

    Are the OME 885 springs on wheeleroffroad different from toytecs 885? OME 885 on wheelersoffroad says its only 1.75 lift on a stock, but toytec says 3". so confusing....

    If I did read the advertisement wrong, and the OME 885 springs on wheelers offroad does give a full 3"(possibly more) like we talked about earlier, I think it would be cheaper for me to just order everything from them. The ome 885's, n140s, have them assemble them for 200 (thats for the left and right total right?) . Then get the rear 182's and then get a aal from toytec. opinions?

    The info on wheelers site is old. OME had some issues a couple of uears ago or so, with springs that settled prematurely, and settled alot. The 885's have always been listed as a 3" spring, but wheelers was giveing people a "heads up" if you will, on what to realistically expect from the OME springs. Since then, OME has redesigned their springs, and they are scragged, so they wont settle much less than the advertised 3", if not right at 3". Wheelers off road has some great customer service.

    Oh, and as for the springs being different between Toytec, and Wheelers, Im not sure. If Toytec has the older springs, then yes, they are a little different. I got my 885;s from Wheelers.

    OK after looking at the price of everything that 885 setup with the n140s is WWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY outta my price range. I was thinkin I was only gonna pay the 300 for the kit off toytec and have a great ride. What was i thinkin. I guess that leaves me with the 884's. If i were to get 884's and they did settle to 2.5 would the 285's still fit. And could I run stock shocks with the 884's? Or would 5100s be ok?

    The 884's have the same spring rate as the 885's. Stock shocks arent gonna give you a good ride....Save up until you can get the shocks too. :)
