    The TSB pack has an extra leaf. The stock springs on most tacomas(if not all, not sure on that point) are three leaf packs and are notorious for sagging and rough ride with a load. If you only have three, go to the dealer and tell them to give you the TSB springs cause it is riding rough with a load. They will put in a new set with another leaf to help with the weight.

    Like krimson said, the spacer just goes ahead and gives you a little extra lift. A small spacer wont hurt anything, but may make you HAVE to have the new UCA's with the 885's.

    If you already have the TSB springs, I'd go with an aal and save the money. If not, the dakars would be the better way to go. Aal's are a temporary fixer-upper. Might as well do it right.

    I checked out my leafs and I do have 4, which means I have the TSB Package? So I should go ahead and get the dakars or the aal's for TSB Springs?

    That's correct. You should have the TSB springs. If you think you may do some hauling the dakars would be the way to go. They are going to be the better option, but if you arent hauling anything, you could save the money and just get the aal. It's up to you. The dakars are going to give you better springs, but it's all about the money if you arent going to use them. If money is not that great of a concern, get them, if you would like to save some for something else, dont.

    Clear as mud, right? :D

    I installed the OME kit with Dakars on my father in laws truck. He absolutely loves how it rides. Says it rides smoother than stock. He was worried at first because he didn't want a harsh ride, but he couldn't be happier.

    It's such a hard decision lol but I'm thinking I might as well get the Dakars just in case I do haul cause a couple buddies have some SeaDoos and I would like to pull them with the yota sometimes. But thanks for the info
