    King Coilovers, Light Racing UCA, OME Dakar leafs w/ extra leaf and SB10" Bilstein 7100's and a U-bolt flip. 4.56's, eLocker rear, ARB front, Marlin rear bumper, ARB Bull Bar w/ Warn M8000. BAMF Sliders. Manual hub conversion with functioning ABS. Tundra front brakes. Manual hub conversion with functioning ABS. SCS F-5's w/ 255/85 Toyo MT's
    I currently have the Dakars with the extra leaf added.

    With the Dakars alone I got 3 inches of lift over stock springs. That is measured with my Leer shell so YMMV.


    When I added the extra leaf it gave me another 1.25 inches over that. Honestly I didn't want all that height but I needed the load capacity.

    The Dakars ride fine on my truck but I'm heavier than most.
