    3inch spacer lift
    I have a 05 Access Cab with 2,5 Bilstein lift on the front and add a leaf rear. I replaced the aal with OME leafs but don't like the rake. I like the height and would prefer to raise the front to match but cant find any information as to what would be my best option. ARB/OME says their lift still has the rake but can remove the third spring in the pack to help with height. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

    I have Dakar rear leafs with the Dakar AAL for a total lift around 3.5". To match the height in the rear, I am running Fabtech uppers, LSK lowers, and currently max'ed out Fox performance coils that still ride decent, but there is room for improvement. I want to run either custom valves Kings or a set of Icon coils to get a true 3.5" lift in the front that still rides better then what I have currently. I just posted a thread on my current front suspension refurb and gusset project that should negate any of the stock weak points Toyota left for us. You can check out my thread for pics of the front suspension.
    I can tell you I love the way the OME Dakar leafs ride, and the extra capacity my truck can now carry. I also have 4 cylinder and a commercial Leer cap in the rear, with no sagging whatsoever from the leafs.
    Hope that helps!!

    You can get a top spacer for the front to gain an additional .5" I believe. That should help a little. Also, depending on how long you've had the dakars, they will settle a bit. Might be worth waiting to see how much they settle before adding more front lift resulting in rake the other way (if you added more up front before they settle).
