    Here, even when those stations along the highway are closed, the scales are still on. I drive onto the scale then peer into the window to see the readout. I've done that a few times.

    Most regular truck stops will have a scale as well tho at those you might have to pay a fee.

    Full ome lift, nitro charger sports all 4 corners (rear shocks relocated), Dakar pack w/ AAL, 882 coils, diff drop, toytec 1" shackles, trail gear low profile front bumper, Tuff Stuff winch, bamf sliders, RAT skids, BAMF Bed Rack, Tepui Kukenam RTT, RAT rear bumper,
    Probably not a bad thing to look up, should be easy enough!

    Here is the truck from side. I currently have OME Nitros on all 4 corners, 882 springs up front, Dakars with AAL in back, and 1" lift shackles. There is a fair amount of weight in the back for this photo. Probably several hundred pounds on top of the RTT, rack, and bumper. damn near level all the way around, maybe a slight lean to the rear.

    Nice. Looks to be leaning slightly lower in the rear.

    I may be one of the few people here who don't have ANY problem with rake - especially .5 inches!

    Maybe its generational? Truck looks great...

    Rake does serve a purpose. When the bed is loaded the nose isn't pointing into the air cali bro style blinding passing motorists with your headlights

    Nope, I have a 95.5 model Taco, which means my spring hangers are in different locations than 98-2004. My truck uses the same hanger positions as the 89-95 Toyota Pickup. OME doesn't make Dakars for the 95-97 models of Taco so I bought Dakars for the 89-95 Pickup instead. These springs lift a pickup 1.75-2.25in, but on a Taco they give 3.75-4.25in. I happened to get 4.15in out of em and liked the look and function. SnowroxKT and Presto are running the same springs as me, I think SnowroxKT took a leaf out though to make it more even. I am at 3.25in in the front and think it looks pretty slick, plus it is super hard to overload these springs. I have loaded it up good and they take some good weight while staying nice and flexy.

    Question for the group...going through my parts list and noticed that there is only one extended brake line included. Is this normal?

    Actually, if you put that into profile view, I think that amount of rake would be pretty good...
