    Just got an alignment. The guy at toyota managed to get me 2.1 and 2.3 caster on the stock UCA .. at the expense of a little camber. (But not much it's still well toward the middle of spec range. ) will post picture later.

    Looks like I'm about a mile away from the cab mount now! Might be able to fit 33's with no chop.

    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    650 with 3/4 isolator is what I had on the 2013.

    600 with 3/4 isolator is what I have on my 2015

    The 650 by itself, feels very similar to the 600 with the isolator. I actually liked the 650 better, but it is not a big enough difference to warrant changing them.

    No plate bumpers on either truck. Always plan on it, but have not yet.

    FYI that's a garbage alignment. They did the old toe-and-go ... here is what you want ....

    When you installed the AAL did you leave in the overload? How does it ride? Good looking truck, BTW!

    Yes, I left the overload in. I’ll edit my post.

    Only about 30 miles on it so far, but I love the ride. Not harsh at all, but not as bouncy as the SR5 factory suspension. No vibes either.

    Thanks! I’ve been considering the black “beadlocks”.

    Nice! I have a similar setup but with 1/4" spacers up front. Now that I see that it's not as rear-high with the OL in, I'm probably going to take the spacers out though since I feel like it's too close to level right now.

    That is a lot.. I've got the dakar HD pack and I have 5 plus 2 overloads. You had the tsb leafs before?

    And its leafs.. Leaves is the verb tense of leave meaning to go away.. Its confusing but kinda like how people use grill for their front grille.. They should use grille for the truck.

    Thanks for the correction, that one always confused me.

    The truck had the 3 leafs + OL when I bought it in 2016. I seem to remember reading they changed the springs around that time (2012) so I don't think the TSB was needed. I think they were coming from the factory like that. I could be wrong though.

    I do have some weight in the back though. Not sure how much higher it would be with an empty bed. I wanted to keep the OL in since I have some weight all winter, and tow occasionally in the summer (+4,000lb camper).

    No problem. Yeah I would agree with you about keeping OL in I don't have much over 200# in my bed a few times a year.. I'm actually going to drop the 3rd leaf and longest OL out for height reduction and ride compliance.

    Not exactly. You are correct about the verb tense, but not the plural:
