    If I install a 2" AAL on my stock 2015 TRD OR, do I need also install axle shims? If so, what angle? And how much would it increase the lift?

    It all depends on your drive shaft angles. After you install your aal. You need to measure your flange angles and they should be parallel. If they are not you need to shim to make that happen.

    General rule of thumb is 1* per inch of lift. Most guys running 2-3” lifts will have 2/3* shim.

    Interesting, about to install an AAL and never heard of shims. Will need to research.
