    Installed mine yesterday at .85 and no vibes that I can tell. I did figure out that my ride is MUCH better than the stock bilstein shocks with 120k on them. If your rear leafs are as flat as mine are you might need an aal to get it level. I still can't decide if mine has a nose up lean.

    Edit: aal on mine right now would put some rake back in it but I'd rather have a little rear rake than a bro lean.

    From what I've read on this forum, your good to go as long as you don't go higher then a 3" lift. Any higher than that and it changes the orientation of your drive-line resulting in diff drops and shims for other drive-line components. 55 MPH seems to be the speed when the sun and stars aline for vibrations.

    Did you use your stock coil springs and if so which ones are they ? The TRD off road or sport ?
