    This appears to be the kit you bought. And with the added extras you have, its $300 dollars more than what you paid...unless I'm not seeing something you got a great deal.

    I didn't get the CS047R leaf pack when I ordered. I have it now waiting to be installed at the end of the month.

    I've been running the 3" OME lift, nitrochargers, dakars for almost 4 years now. 56K miles on a 2010 TRD OR DCSB.

    At year 2, the stock tires wore out and I went a little bigger with the 265/75/R16 BFG AT

    At year 3 I had to add aftermarket UCA for alignment issues as the stock gear lacked enough adjustment after wear and tear.

    I'm now seeing a little sag in the back with a full load of gear and family on trips. It's minor and not surprising at over 55K. Will probably add a leaf as a stop gap until I replace the full kit, likely with another OME setup.

    It's been good gear and I expect you'll enjoy what you've done.

    Nice and thanks for sharing! I feel confident decision. I purchased the
    $75 D29XL Leaf Spring
    D29XL with the leaf pack in anticipation for the added weight of future goodies. Next major mod after the upgrade will definitely be 265s or 285s; still undecided between BFGs and Duratracs.

    Came with the kit from HeadStrong OffRoad. I recommend getting it to anyone who plans on achieving the full 3 inches with this kit.

    Could you care to elaborate on widening the rear shock mounts. Did they have to be chopped off and welded or was it a simple bend / force application job?

    Bend/force application. It was only very slight.
