    AAL's can sag, you have to take apart your OEM (original manufacturers) leaf pack and install them in between, hence add-a-leaf. They get the job done but do not offer the strength and durability that a completely new leaf pack like the Dakars can. The Dakars will give you more lift and better tow/load capacity. IMO they're worth the extra couple hundred bucks.

    upload_2018-3-29_21-54-18.jpgok actually these. Anyone? Coilovers assembled for under 500 bucks. I am just wondering if these might work for 2 inch lift up front?

    Hey, since you guys are on subject. I was about to pull the trigger on this setup. Would this give it a full 3in all the way around if set to .85? Went with the 888 for extra height and possible bumper down the road

    if your wanting to add a bumper at some point the 886 coils are recommended i believe ....i would seriously talk to Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road ....they are the experts and will take care of any second guessing you may have .

    All of the toyota dealerships around my area go with the ready lift 3 2 kits. They say its the only kit that toyota will back. Reading through everything on tqcoma world is frustrating, so many different opinions. Im leaning toward bilstein 5100, but if toyota will still warranty after installing ready lift, I'm going that way.

    Toyota literally told me that if you change component that their warranty won’t cover arhat part. So if you go 5100 then Toyota won’t warrant the shocks. That’s obvious. Seems like it’s all a crap shoot in terms of warranty tho as places give you different answers.
    I did go 5100. Shocks them selves are great. Ride is better. The ride quality went down when I put in my Aal. It has got better since as it’s worked itself in. Truck looks so much better lifted tho.
    Check out my build and any questions shoot me a message

    So the ideal package is...
    Billy 5100’s Front and Rear
    OME 887 or 888’s
    Progressive 3 Pack AAL or Dakars
    Is that right?
