    i've heard good things about the 3 leaf icon progressive, so putting that on my stock set of leafs. they were low miles when i took them off and had a 1.5 or 2" pro comp AAL on them.

    I have a question for first gen owners. I know a few people have used the 883 coils instead of 881's (with nitro sport struts of course). I am considering going this route as well for my 03 v6 ex cab. I am looking for 2.5in up front and I read that this is achievable with the 883 coils without the addition of the 10mm spacers? Will these still ride softer than the eibachs, which have a larger spring rate of 620? Would 882's be a better idea?

    Thanks in advance

    I am familiar with the specs. According to wheelers, the 882's have a lower spring rate but higher height than the 883's. My question is, which coil will give me a 2.5in lift and the more comfortable ride? I would rather not use 881's with the 10mm spacers

    Hi All. I'm putting on some new parts and would like some advice. I have 885Xs (no trim packer, no spacers) and Dakars on an ACLB. I have sliders and a topper. Here are my current hub center to fender measurements.

    FL: 21.750
    FR: 22.500
    RL: 23.125
    RR: 23.875

    In coming weeks I will be adding a steel plate front bumper, winch, and IFS skid. In conjunction, I'm changing to 886s with driver's side trim packer and LR UCAs.

    So my current numbers are on the low side. I'm considering using top plate spacer w/ the 886s and the Dakar AAL in order to get 2.5-3 inch lift over stock. I'd like to try to get it right the first time so I only have to get one alignment and only have to pull my shock apart once.

    What do yall think?

    How much lift will I get in the front using the OME 90000 sport shocks and the 885 coils? I have a stock 09 DC SB.

    On the Toytec website it says that you will get a full three inches with the top spacers. But what will you get without the spacers?

    Thanks
