    Hello Forum,

    I finally installed my 2/1 leaf pack that I bought from SteveoATC which came off of his 2012 Tacoma TRD with less than 10,000 miles on them. I cleaned them up, painted them, & installed the 3 Leaf AAL from Wheelers on them. I also left in the factory Overload leaf. So I have 5 leafs total PLUS the Overload leaf.

    I originally installed a 3 degree axle shim from ToyTec (thin side towards the fron ofcourse) but it gave my truck bad vibes from take off until about 20 MPH. I towed my dad-in-laws boat that night & it was worse. I think it tilted the front of the axle "UP" too far so the added weight made it worse. I ended up removing it & the vibes were greatly reduced. Now I have a slight vibe from take-off to about 8 mph.

    From what I have read that slight vibe won't hurt anything. I drove it up to 110 MPH & no vibes at any speed. I drove 285 miles round trip yesterday & no issues. It has the rake that I wanted.

    BTW, I have Billies with the front @ .85.

    Thanks :D

    Looks good, just a heads up if you add IMG tags to the front and back of those links the actual pictures will display on the thread.
