    Hey Guy's,
    I live in Anaheim and have a 2015 TRD OR DCSB 4x4. I am ready to purchase a lift. I am thinking of Headstrong Offroad Kit HS05BK-1 with OME 885's
    http://www.headstrongoffroad.com/headstrong-kits-tacoma-05-6-lug.html
    It sounds like this will suit me and my daily driver / weekend warrior. ( Big Bear and Desert weekends.)

    One thing is I have a snugtop shell.. extra 200 .lbs

    Does anyone have a shell with suggestions to compensate for the extra weight?
    Opinion on this : OME Dakar leaf pack is anyone running this with a shell?

    Thank guys!

    I'm running Dakars with a SnugTop XV.

    It's perfect - I ended up with 2.75" of lift.

    You'll love that setup with your shell.

    I'm running 2.5" up front and 2.75" out back, with the shell weight (mine is 225 lbs).

    Tires are 265/75/16 Cooper ATP on TRD alloys.

    Post up in the SoCal regional section. $100 worth of pizza and beer is a surprising magnet for help with mods.

    Can't say enough about them. Great service, great prices, great family.
    Save yourself the shipping and make the drive and pick up. There relatively close to you (Hemet)
    Best yet, meeting Robert and Marie, you will be a customer for life.

    Thanks for the recommendation! The truck came out great BTW, if I can ever do anything else in the future for you dont hesitate to ask buddy. Now you can do more snake hunting with the new lift, ha!
