    No sweat. How's the ride compare with the stock setup? I've read EMU rides nice, better than other lifts. I suspect that helped going from the P rated oem tires to the LT Duratracs. What psi do you keep em at? Did you replace the UCA's for alignment concerns, or do the Duratrac 265's have rubbage potential? Sorry for all the questions, but I am seriously considering this setup.

    No problem bro, ask away. I bugged the hell out of people when I was working up what I wanted. I did replace the UCA's with the LR ones from ToyTec. After getting them I would not go with anything else. These things are heavy duty and go on smooth as silk. They also allow the most adjustment of any other brand. I went with the 10 ply tire because I got them for $650 but the 6 ply from tirerack at $152 each is the best deal going other than that. The tires are rated for 80psi but I am running them at 50, I think I will drop to 45 later tonight. As for rubbing, there is no need to trim anything with this setup. I have the same range as before with no rubbing at all plus if I do take it off road then I should be good there too. Overall after researching for over a year and doing the install myself with a buddy and the price I would not even consider another lift. The ride is great and I went with the 885 coils without the half inch top spacer. Overall I could not be happier. and after it was all said and done I would have been fine with the stock UCA's but I am glad I have the new ones because they are so much stronger.

    Did ya end up with a full 3" lift or somewhere in between because of the spacer? I may try to save my stock UCAs since I don't do much high impact off-roading, but I read others get into trouble with alignment using stock UCAs starting at 3" of lift.

    I ended up with about 2 and 3/4 in the front without the spacer and 2 inches in the back, I already had the TSB done so that left me with about an half inch of rake (1/2 higher in the rear). Every truck is different but I would not have needed the UCA's to correct my alignment.

    Looks great. I am looking at putting on the same wheel/tire set up.
