    Update:

    Installed the suspension components last weekend with a friend. Went relatively smooth.

    However, I now have a slight forward rake.

    I'm thinking about setting the front 5100s to .85" :confused:

    Any advice or suggestions?

    I just read toytec install thread that mentioned disconnecting the rear parking brake line while installing the AALs. Not sure if that's what you were referring to.

    I didn't have to disconnect the rear parking brake when I installed the Toytec AAL! I just had to detach it from the leaf spring pack.

    So any advice on setting the 5100s to 0.85" on the OME 885s?
