The tjm looks sweet. How much are you lifting it and are bigger tires coming?

Hey everyone, thanks for the kind words....

I'm aiming for about 1.5-1.75" of lift running OME 881 coils and N91s shocks up front.
in the rear I am going to run the Deaver 3 leaf progressive AAL with OME N85 - you remove the overload leaf - giving the suspension better flex and allows it to cycle better. I might add Cornfed 1" shackles in the rear in addition to the AAL to even things out.

Overall I'm pretty psyched -

when I can afford it I will be going with either a pair of 32x11.5 BFG All Terrains or the 32x11.5 Kumho Venture AT

allright - well looks like I will be going with the 880s instead of the 881s. I really only want 1.5" max in the front as the most tire I have decided I will put on will be a 32....anyways I ordered three 5mm trimpackers from wheelers (those guys rock) and will either install 1 on the drivers side OR two on the drivers side and one on the passenger side....any reccomendations?

are there any adverse effects to running the trim packers? something like putting too much topload on a coil? Will downtravel be affected? I mean it is definetly preloading the coil so I assume trim packers will hasten coil sag?


edit: why the 880s? well it seems the 1st gen tacos have more problems with leaky boots then the later gen tacos where some people get away with 3" of lift no problem - anyway as long as they dont sag below 1" of lift I'll be happy
