    :cheers:

    You're the man. I want normal rake! I'm currently almost dead level (23" front 23/23.5" rear) which sucks when I haul anything. Looks like I'd gain an inch or so out back, and I'm expecting the 884s to give me an increase up front, actually, so maybe I wouldn't have much rake. I guess we will find out. Lol

    FYI, this guy has 887s with billy 1500's up front, and Icon AAL in the rear. Sits level, and is a damn good looking truck.

    But this may alleviate SOME questions regarding height like I did (between 887 and 885). I'll be isntalling 887 in a month with a front hybrid bumper, I'll post up my pics as well.

    Going to order tonight but want to run this by you guys before.
    885, "older" intros all around, trim package for driver side lean and wheelers progressive add a leaf.
    I should be good with the above right? Don't need differential drop, bushings or any other misc stuff. Only want to order this once.
    Thanks

    Should be. If you plan on removing the factory overload you may be nose high.

    I still can't get a definitive idea of old Nitros vs new Nitros. To make it even more confusing I found a website which says they will sell the newer "sports" in either heavy or medium duty shocks (shocks not springs). Wtf:confused:

    Probably referring to the 2 different new nitros. They heavy duty are the 90000 and the lighter duty are the 90021. The 90021s are supposed to be smoother on the road. If you run 886 coils you need to run the 90000's but the other coils (884, 885, 887) can be paired with either.

    Thanks!

    Any place that makes a good comparison of old vs new nitros specific to Tacos? Found some other forums talk about them briefly but it was for other vehicles.

    I never looked into the newer ones so i really can't say. Only thing I saw on another thread was that some people having an issue getting them to fit.

    I was level with aal and 884's but the ass would sag with just my hockey bag in the back after Dakar's i was initially wanting to bring the front up a lil more. Over this past weekend i went glamping and loaded the truck with gear, the dog had the wife and 2 kids in the cab and hooked a 22' travel trailer up. Truck sat just above level and the dakars carried the load smoothly!
