    yeah it says it comes with the new front coil springs.
    and yeah i was just looking at that, think it would be worth it to opt for the new rear leaf springs instead of the AAL's?
    also, that loft should be ok for the tires i want to run (255/85/16), i want to achieve about 3"

    new leafs will ride a hell a lot better im sure. and I know there are a few guys up here running 3" lifts with that size tire. check with loco and ckeene. I think they are running their tires on the factory rims which if my memory serves me right, phil said they don't work so well with the spacers but without spacers they seemed to tuck right into the fender/wheel well just right. I think those trd rims have the same dimensions as the 16" trd off road package rims. and that deal linwood posted is a steal! take it man. youll never find those rims cheaper. that's at dealership cost. (what I could get them for if my dealership could order them with my employee discount)

    The back up sights should only be there as back up. As in scope breaks or what not.

    well, its wwhat they are for. i have them on my rifle but they are always down and wont ever be used unless my acog shits the bed.

    with the scope u have( by the way it looks) to me its hard to have both. with acog, i can use it for up close as well as whatever i can use for 4x out.

    with a higher powered scope i wouldnt even worry about anything close since thats not really what teh rifle is setup for.

    Most people i have seen with a scope like u have, dont normally worry about back up sights.

    is your scope on a quick disconnect? that might be an option for you to keep the back up sights u do have
