    Sorry for repeating what you said. I had called ARB before you posted that and didn't half-ass read it...lol:)

    When I installed my OME, Toytec mentioned that I could use the 1/4" top spacer instead of the trim packer. So, that is what I opted to do. Scott at ARB said that I could use both if I needed to. Just wouldn't want to be higher on the driver's side afterwards.

    As far as the measurements, I used my neighbor's carport. My driveway is uneven. I will measure again tonight at the gas station.

    I know. I have noticed that some ppl on here use 2 trim packers with their OME kit. Maybe I need to add mine. Probably would make up the difference on the Passenger rear also.

    No weight, but full tank.

    My fckn passenger dakars have the "+", and my driver leafs have a "0". Just learned about this +/- deal, so i'm guessing "0" is neutral. i'm gonna switch sides when I install my AALs in a couple weeks. Can anyone tell me what the "0" is all about?

    Got my dakars on my access cab and they both measured 25" near as I could tell.

    They both had + on them. I called toytec as I was installing them and they dont have a clue about it. Thier response was "it doesnt mean anything, it's just something the manufacturer puts on there......"
