    I have the same setup, I like having some rake but not to much, Your truck looks great. If my memory serves me right OME used to have light duty, medium duty and heavy duty. Now it is no weight in bed or 660lbs in the bed. I went with the HD Dakar pack because I usually have about 350lbs in the bed so I too feel the rear end is just a tad bit to high. I have 1.5-2 inches of rake, initially I think it was around 2.5 inches of rake. I keep adding the 2888 springs to my cart from headstrong but just can't justify all the work for just a little bit more lift in the front and more acute angles on the front drive. Regardless your truck looks really good

    Thanks! Yeah, I thought about putting a stormtrooper or empire insignia on it, but my daughter asked about R2D2. Pretty fun to make these- I really like the original caliper insignia that Zack used on the Prinsu.

    Yesterday I Added a diamond back HD (super easy install my 10 year old and I did it in 45 minutes) and some 35% carbon tints on the front doors and 35% carbon tints on rear doors over the factory tint to dark out the back so that the kids will sleep on road trips. Now I need to let my wallet recover before I get some sliders.

    Cover looks great. You may want to snug down the rear section so it lays flatter and compresses the weatherstripping more tightly. Have someone stand on each corner while you adjust the locking rod mounting brackets. The more compression on that gasket, the less likely you are to get water in the bed.

    I ended up waiting until i could get an adult to sit on the ends while i did it. The kid was too light but I did snug it down. I noticed an air gap at the rear. It is super tight now.

    Just installed the Hondo Garage "Unholy Mount" in my Taco. Talk about an easy installation. Took all of 5 minutes if that. This has to be the easiest mod you will ever do. Very well made and well thought out. I Iove it!

    Didn't see a reply, I got mine from @gunny1005, and it was under $100 in April when I got mine. PM him, and let him know you're interested in a bed mat. He beat every local dealer (including Denver ...70 miles to the north) by at least $30. He will take care of you. :thumbsup:

    Yeah not gonna take the chances on that for something that takes an hour to do. We checked at full droop and the brake lines were definitely the limiting factor. Considering I've seen plenty of three-wheel motion on rutty fire-roads that's not worth it to me.
