    Nice truck and a good mod list.

    Nothing wrong with 15" wheels. I actually prefer them. Tires are cheaper for 15" wheels too.

    As for the Dakars. It is ALWAYS a good idea to use NEW ubolts when changing leaf packs. I would definitely get new ubolts. Longer ones won't hurt, you can always trim off the excess if the threads hang too low.

    Yes you will need to either use an exhaust relocation bracket (OME) or cut your tailpipe to dump just behind the axle. If you don't the side exit tailpipe will hit the springs.

    Did some lift math and I have a question...
    The front fender is 34.5" from the ground now, and after a 3" lift from the Eibach springs and 1.25" from the Bilsteins it will be around 38.75". The back will be at 38.25" after new OME leaf packs. Will that .5" difference be a noticeable bro lean? I would prefer level but it seems nearly impossible to get perfectly level.

    Thanks,
    Tyler

    One thing I'll note, my lift ended up being real low in the rear, using ome 882 and dakars. I *think* the eibach and 882 probably yield a similar amount of lift. I've since removed my camper shell and added 1.5" shackles. Just a thought, but you might want to grab some longer shackles if it ends up being too "bro". They are cake to add on after.

    Not sure if you plan on loading her down often, or using a camper shell, but if so, might want to think about the aal for Dakar. I'm toying with the idea of a roof top tent, and will likely need to address this later... It's much easier to do this first if extra load bearing is needed :)

    One more thing, I fount the factory jack to be a lifesaver installing my lift - used it in the front to push down on the UCA to line up the lower shock mount, and between frame and spring to align leaf and shackle.

    Edit: if adding longer shackles, you'll need to cut the tailpipe. I honestly feel like my exhaust bracket extension was a waste.

    I actually installed the lift a couple weeks ago, that's funny about the stock jack because I used it for the front as well. Didn't think about using it for the back, that would've been helpful.

    I feel you on this, even with my bracket the dakars still rub the exhaust a tiny bit. And the tailpile is all rusted and ugly...I'll probably chop it off next time I have the wheels off

    Haha, yeah, that stock bottle jack is bad ass. For exhaust chop, I don't think I did anything further than dropping the spare... Might not have even done that. Tail pipe cutter rented from autozone worked fine, and took about 10mins.

    What are your f/r measurements from fender to center of wheel? Curious to see what you ended up with. Sitting raked, level, or bro? Link to your build thread in this thread once you are ready. I'm also thinking of going 33x10.5, you have them on yet? Would love to see pics if you gottem.
