    During the time I had the 887's I also found that I really, really wanted my truck to be level... and the best way to ensure that was to get adjustable front shocks.

    If OME Offered those I would've definitely considered it.

    Bought my truck with 3300 miles on it and lifted it at 4600 miles. It took that long to get my equity check from my trade-in. It's much easier to do the work when all the bolts and such are not rusted up. BUT...try to know exactly what you want before you lift. It's much cheaper to do it once.

    This is a good point. When I first got my truck I was looking at 5100's and an AAL but after driving the truck for awhile and figured out exactly how I use it I realized that an OME kit with Dakars fit my needs much better. Good to know what you want/need and do it right the first time.

    Lifted mine with 10 miles on the odometer. No issues with fighting with seized bolts and I barely even got dirty!!

    I too have a PreRunner and installed the BAJA suspension on it. Got all the parts from my awesome Toyota dealership! I think it had about 500 miles on the odometer.

    Same thought I had. But then I'd probably catch 2x the crap because the tires I'm waiting to replace are the Rugged Fails. Oh well, it doesn't make sense for me to throw away perfectly functional tires before they're worn out.
