    Did it come with a top plate spacer? Toytec has the option but Headstrong doesn't so I didn't know if it was included anyways.

    You need to request it since there are two sizes to choose from and some people don't want it.

    Are you asking about the spacers? If so, yes.

    With 887s you should get at least 2.5".

    That's the exact same setup I plan to get. Put up some first impressions when you get it installed! Especially interested to hear how you like the LR UCA's.

    Probably goes without saying but make sure you measure from middle hub to fender not ground up so its relevant to others. Have fun with the install!

    Thanks for the input. I as planning on measuring from ground past middle of hub to fender, however with different tires and tread depth results will vary so glad you mentioned this

    Stuff and things.
    Just did the rear of my Taco with OME shocks, dakars, AAL, carrier drop kit and 2.5degree shims this past weekend, rides super nice! Can't wait to do the front when funds allow!

    I lifted mine a few months ago. Finally got around to posting pics. I went with a full kit, (885 in the front and the 3rd leaf removed in the rear.) Installed myself. I got 2" all around. Its not a perfect ride, but you get what you pay for. I am still very happy. And Low Range Offroad was a great place to deal with. And thanks to Tacoma World. :headbang:

    Took me a total of 8-9 hrs from start to finish. Lots of last min things came up that proved how unprepared I was . I will do a video discussing the lessons learned and my tips and advice for anyone looking at doing the OME setup. 20161102_094333.jpg 20161102_094338.jpg 20161102_100429.jpg 20161102_112645.jpg 20161102_162607.jpg 20161102_162830.jpg 20161103_150300.jpg

    Hey All,
    Ive done some reading through a bunch of threads and cant quite find an answer so I thought I would try this.
    Just got and installed (I did fronts and new strut mounts, shop did Dakars and alignment) OME 2inch (886's, although higher right now should settle down). After installing fronts, before rear leafs/shocks installed and alignment noticed a weird hum/pitch/tone noise at around 50-60km (30-40mph).
    Thought maybe wheel bearing but turning the wheels at that speed doesn't seem to alter the noise whatsoever.
    Im going to assume its a isolated issue to the front of the truck as it was occurring before rear suspension installed.
    The alignment was done and everything feels great and is within factory numbers.
    Anywho, any ideas, advice, opinions are welcome. Still have stock UCA's as a piece of info as well.

    Cheers

    It could be the needle bearing in the front diff, mine made a howling noise right after I installed my lift so I swapped it out with ECGS bushing.
