    I'm sure mine will, just topped off today so I will be able to see how much exactly in few days. I was averaging about 320 miles before the lift. Curious to see what it wil be now. What have you guys been averaging?

    I think the decrease in mpg is the tire size more than the lift. For example the duratracs are like 20 pounds heavier per tire than stock

    I had the 6" for over 2 years and I loved it. I'd say it was smoother than stock IMO

    does anyone have the 3 inch lift, stock TRD 16 in rims, 285/75/16 with spidertrax? Is that even possible without serious rubbing?

    Yea it is possible the wheel spacer eliminates the rubbing concern

    I was also concerned if there were VSC problems with 16 inch rims. Seems like most of yall are running 17's

    im not sure about the vsc acting up with only 16".. I think it has more to do with the increased center of gravity when you lift the truck.



    My question to one of you procomp pros is this...
    I just got my kit in the mail ( i was super excited) and when i opened it i got almost no hardware. So im assuming ill steal it all off my truck when i switch. like no longer center pin for the leafs.

    Also the new leaf they sent me is really long compared to the tsb leaf that toytec sent me.(ordered it along time ago, long story...) My truck came stock with a 4 leaf pack so im not sure which one to use. Any pics of your guys leaf packs?

    I called 4 wheel and they said they would send me all the hardware, so im waiting.

    But any ideas on the leafs? pics of yours? I think im gonna have to put the smaller toytec(deaver) ones in, to fit in my leaf pack. the procomp aal is the exact same size a leaf as one already in my pack. I hope the toytec one lifts my truck enough.

    It really does...

    Im also thinking about ordering new leafs for the rear. my stock ones were sagging quite a bit when I put the AAL's in.
    and my truck only has 10,000 miles on it...hrmmm

    really like your stance and its got me thinking that i want a 3 inch lift now($$$uhoh$$$)
    stupid question now. Right now ive got billies at 1.75 and the tsb aal (4leaf) in the back. still haven't installed the billies in the back but i have them and the truck sits pretty much level right now. what do i need to go up to 3inches? looks like only ome 885 springs, new ucas, and a new aal right? cost and link where to buy the 885s?
