    Deadbeat son, yes, I was going to order the OME set up from wheelers. It seems alot of guys who run a topper choose to AAL on top of the Dakar springs that come with the set up from wheelers.

    V6 2004 tacoma suspension questions

    Also, I forgot to mention I am not opposed to going with 255/85/16 tires, I have just also used the 265/75/16 b/c of the trips through mexico, and if i needed a tire it would be easy to find. Thanks again
