    Looks great. The ride height front & rear seems to be higher than advertised for the OME setup & Dakars. I know you gain about 1/2" height with the 265/70/17. Is it because the suspension is new & has yet to settle?

    Yep.
    that would be my guess, but im not sure because the advertised lift is for the aal... i mean, look at those dakars. they're beastly :D but im sure they will still settle 1/2" to 1".

    no aal. no shims. installed the front diff drop, and have a carrier bearing drop on order. I have the slightest vib at 40-45. I dont think anybody besides me driving my truck would notice.
