    I should have done before and after measurements, but I have this same setup that I just finished. Here are the before and after for comparison.

    Not sure if 35's will fit but good luck! I have slight rubbing in reverse going full lock to the right and I am on 285/70/17 with a 17x9 -12 offset wheel. Gonna to a CMC and bend some plastic to get rid of it.

    They do, just needs a bit of effort to stuff them in there and a 3” lift will make my life a tad easier when the time comes lol.

    I like the ride with the 888. Just a little firmer than with the stock OR setup.

    Haven't measured lately. Will measure and get back to ya'.

    In all of this thread the one critical error that I am seeing is everybody trying to base their lift kit off of their wheel and tire size it should always be the other way around get your truck up in the air and then figure out what wheel and tire fits underneath it. 3" suspension lift with toyotas CV joint set up as never been an issue hasn't been from the 1st generation, if it ever became an issue you either started reducing until the vibration went away or just buy the Porsche cv's. I realize this is an old thread now but his question really did have a simple answer.

    Here's my other opinion if you're putting 35s on your truck, stop, or get a different truck. 33 for Toyota's that is why toyota a stands for take off your oversized tire a******.

    Here’s mine with 5100’s set at the top notch , OME 887’s, 5100’s in the rear with Icon add a leaf mini pack, I dropped it down to the first notch because it was stiff and am considering going to the 2nd or 3rd notch

    Rides like stock aside from it needing an alignment, but I’m waiting till I get the 888’s installed, tires mounted for that. Talked with many shops about what notch they use, and many have told me top notch with the 887’s, which I’m glad I didn’t use these particular shops and did it myself.

    Rogue Offroad, $677 but they upgraded me to the Icon mini a leaf pack because the included leaf was out of stock on back order, for $90, normally they go for like $200
