    Dude the 10mm top plate spacer will give like a half inch...much more than what you need for the taco lean. And you need longer studs for that, comes with longer studs for the 10mm lift enhancer from wheelers. What toytec spacer you talkin about? The 1/4" spacer? What you need is a small 5mm spacer, ome makes one that seats at the bottom of the lower spring seat. Think it only works with ome struts though. 5mm will give around 1/4"-3/8" lift.

    :( boo lol jk. On another note, you're at like 3.5" of lift in back right? What size 5125's you runnin? I'm thinkin of getting dakars and might add a couple leafs from my 3 leaf aal's I'm running now. Lot of people said dakars have been prone to sagging, any issues for you?

    i can def. see my dakars sag a little... but if ur looking to do an aal, get the one made for that leaf pack. i think wheelers sells it. boxrocket has it installed. gave him a little lift but made the leaf pack able to sustain alot more weight. i dont carry my rocket in the back of my truck anymore so i am not having any sagging problems yet. and acutally i think im about 4.5 inches now in the back... i did the shackles tho for droop, not lift. and i can check for u on my 5125s... I wouldnt ask around tho to see what other people have in that instance. Id do whatever your gonna do to your rear leafs/shackles. then flex it out without shocks attached and measure. most accurate way of doing it. Check my pics for what i did.
