    For a double cab, what height am I looking at with the Eibach/Bilstein's? Is it right at 3" or between 2.5-3"?

    Currently have ~2.5 up front with OME 881 and Bilstein at middle height and 2 3/4" in the back. I have some brand new Eibach coils on the way. Im debating if its worth putting these on until I get my rear lifted.

    Look at my build in my sig. To gauge. Even though I have an extra cab I got a solid 3 in the front and 2" in the back. What are your fender to hub measurements now? Just curious

    Its been a while since I measured. I can get you some numbers when I get off work. In the mean time, Ill check out your build.

    I have 1 1/4" lift shackle with 1.5" AAL. Im looking at the OME leafs which are rated at 1.5"; but that will be futher down the road. I figured a shim in the rear can help keep things ballaced.

    I want to get them in now so I can sell the 881's and put that money towards my wheels fund but I dont like the idea of a bro lean :eek:

    Damn, that might be a bit too high. Did you do a diff drop with that?

    With only a 2" lift in the back, John's truck doesnt look too bad though...

    Unless you have manual hubs, you might want to look into one. Only $20 and not much work getting it on so no excuse :p.

    Haha, well thats a good excuse.

    Hub to fender is Front: 23 and Rear 25 (exact for both). I guess the front sagged quite a bit or my last measurements were off :confused:.

    You'll still get 3''+ easy.

    If you kept your lift shackles with the Dakar packs, you'd be fine i think. Or add the Dakar AAL to it.

    Diff drops or hit and miss..works to help get rid of some front vibes on some truck..other doesn't do anything..Either way, doesn't really help your CV angles..
