    Thanks! I'm pretty stoked. Magnaflow should be here... Today! Yes! BAMF BPV bracket gets here this week too. Just need to get her aligned, Magnaflow installed, and get out of bankrupcy! :D

    looks like you have a bit of a rake? Do you like the hi rear end?

    only 1.5" from an 8-leaf pack? I would have expected more. Doesn't wheelers 5-leaf pack give 1.5" or am i missing something here?

    more leafs doesnt mean more lift, those with more leaves usually have more flex and are softer

    So on the DSM page it says that you can reuse the front bushings if they aren't damaged. How likely is that to happen? I'd like to be able to do this with as little downtime as possible and that includes not having to order parts from Toyota.


    The setup i'm going for is eibachs/5100's up front and the wheelers 3 leaf AAL pack and the daystar 1.25 inch greasable shackle with 5100s. I know i'll need the extended brake line but other than that I think I have everything covered.

    Looking forward to contributing my pictures to this thread.

    Why wait a week to get an alignment? I got my alignment a couple of days later. Will this require another alignment?

    meh.... you should be fine. You shouldn't wait too long to get it aligned because it strains the front suspension and wears the tires unevenly, but I wanted to let the new springs settle a little before I got it done... :notsure:

    I don't mind the rake, I just love my Expo's

    Dude, it's too f-ing cold here to go wash those. It's currently 5 degrees outside.

    I got my alignment done yesterday, I'm not too worried. I drove it for 9 days before getting it aligned, I'm sure it's fine.

    I may have missed this in the many pages of this thread but what is a good tire size to run with eibach coils and a simple 1 leaf 2" aal??

    Any suggestions would be appreciated! I am currently running 5100's set at the max lift and have the 2" aal and a diff drop installed with LT265-75R16 BFG all terrains. I prefer skinnier tires over wide ones.

    I can say I am not very impressed with the overall ride that just the 5100's at highest setting provide and am hoping it improves with the addition of the eibach coils. My front tire will hit the wheel well if I am turned slightly and popping say a curb or a small embankment, at low speed...

    Thanks!!

    275/75s look good. 285/75s are pretty popular too but you have to trim. If you into skinny tires check out 255/85s, you'll have to trim with those too but they are the tallest you can fit without really cutting up your truck.
