    Hello all,

    I own a 2007 trd Tacoma with a six speed tranny, recently the drivers rear leaf spring broke. I have the TSB done but by searching the forums it looks like the leafs are weak on these trucks to begin with......

    So i'm thinking of doing a lift on my truck with the EMU lift kit OMETAC05LK which is the light kit since I have stock bumpers on the truck but I will be upgrading the lift with the Dakar leafs. My question is if there is anything else I will require to install this lift. I have heard you need to order up new bushings for the leafs and also something about a spacer to level one side of the truck due to Taco lean, also do I really need to do the diff drop or is the preference only. Oh and should I get the spacers for the coil overs also to level the truck.

    Also has anyone had driveline vibrations after installing this lift and what size of tires should I get so I don't get tire rub I'm thinking the dura trac tires 265/70/17 on the stock rims.
