    Has anyone really achieved a true 3.5” lift from these. I swear I’ve got a bit of a front rake very slight. I bugs the hell out of me. I wish there was a way to adjust these while on the truck

    Update! I actually borrowed a Jack from my neighbor and was able to adjust them with a 5/16 punch and used a large adjustable wrench for leverage. It is possible!

    I could be wrong but i believe @shotgunbilly420 is referring to the UCAs supporting the 6 inch lift kit. They come as a kit for the 3.5" lift but not 6".....

    My first aal is from rough country 2" , my second aal is from trail gear 1.5" and I have a 1° shim on bottom of leaf pack . I also added carrier bearing drop kit also. The effects of axle wrap is when you accelerate very fast it's like a rubber band the truck kinda is hesitant then it goes . Also with that crazy vibrations , which is due to the u-joints getting in a bind.

    I tested this theory before on my 1992 sr5, it had a 4" lift the rear was a block. Noticed my leaf pack was getting flat. So I added one aal and noticed the axle wrap was not as bad so I figured maybe one more aal will eliminate it for good which it did. So same scenario with my third gen and I tested my theory again with the 3rd gen and Walla axle wrap gone theory worked again .
