    Will OME 885x's with Adj. 5100's at 0" and a 1.25" AAL be level? I'm almost 100% level now with my ADJ. 5100's at 1.75".

    Could I do a 1/4" spacer?

    you'd most likely be sitting nose high with that set up, even more so with a 1/4" spacer, i'd consider a 2" or 2.5" aal depending on if you're gonna use a spacer or not

    I wish I wrote down my pre-measurements. I was pretty sure I wouldn't forget them. Anyway, my final numbers right now are with a little over 1/2 tank of gas:

    FR: 23.0"
    FL: 23.25"
    Both rears: 24.5"

    Got my alignment done this afternoon. They got me to 2.6* and 2.7* degrees of caster. Not bad, seems to drive good.

    Took it for a little test run down into a little area near my house with a some decent sized ruts!

    I'm up to 2.5" from the Dakars now. Maybe I wasn't on level ground on my last measurement yesterday. Went from 22" to 24.5". That's with just a hard folding tonneau and the tacoma bed mat for weight.

    It was between 20" and 21", something like 20" drivers and closer to 21" on passenger side.

    I said I wish I could remember the numbers. I measured but didn't write it down. Getting old, too many beers! Plus it was a long day of turning wrenches. :D

    I have the full OME heavy duty suspension with the nonsport shocks and 886 coils. I know they are 660lb coils on my 2013 TRD off road. I also have the front ARB bumper and winch. The only other armor I have is the TRD silver aluminum front skid and BAMF kick out sliders. My question is dose OME make a 700lb coil? If not will one from icon or king fit the OME front struts

    A clunk sounds like something isn't tight. Mine don't clunk at all. I'd go back and double check that you didn't miss a bolt or anything. Squeaks are common, clunks are not.

    Satoshi'd grill. blacked out badges. aftermarket sound system. De-chromed and color matched. OME 885s + Dakars with 3rd leaf removed. LR UCAs. Scs stealth 6 with 285 duratracs. BAMF sliders
    Bjboucher is probably right. Any more details? Does it only happen at certain times? Like starting and stopping or when you hit a big bump?
