Did it ever settle more in the rear?

After a few hundred miles, I'm at 3.5in front and 3in rear total lift. In that pic, the springs hadn't settled and it was around 4in front and 3.5in rear. The back will go down more after I install a drawer system and put recovery gear in it.
But mine has 302 front & 327 rear.
after 500 Miles, it did not settle. Stayed the same

Has it settled?
I have 59-505's on backorder to correct the rear end on mine. I have Eibach 1" and they looked great until I added a drawer in the rear.
I'm hoping with the added rear weight, I will get around 1.25-1.5 (assuming your measurement of 2" is not settled)

Yes they do. A couple of inches extra from memory
Hey Mike, you mentioned something about dirt king UCAsbeing similar to the dobinson ones. Do you happen to know how much if any caster is built into them like the dobinson ones? Their website just says improved caster. Is the ball joint oem sized? Have you had any bad feedback about them such as the poly bushings squeaking? May end up going that route

Hey bud. I reached out to Dirt King to verify. They have 2.3* of added caster built into them.
The ball joints they use are larger than OEM they say, but they're Moog brand and can be replaced with the same ball joint quite easily as they're readily available around the USA.
I've never had a single complaint or issue with the DK's. The bushings are fully greasable and it's a tried and true design, so as long as they are installed properly and greased at the same intervals as your drivelines are supposed to be greased, they should last a really long time. New bushing kits are super easy to replace and the ball joints aren't expensive either.
Dang thanks for the info. Did some looking around on here and the internet but couldn't find out much about them and a hand full of reviews. Do you still have them instock?

No, they're sold out again, will be about a month before more will be available, but that's going to change since it's getting super busy again.
Lots of Tacoma and Tundra guys run Dirt Kings too.
Well crap. Guessing that the dirt king ones will be available before the dobinson ones ever make it here? Would it be wise to go ahead an order a set of the dk ones from you now

Yes, DK's ETA's are pretty reliable, but you've got to remember things are picking up very fast right now. Tax refunds, stimmy checks, people are spending money and building up their trucks fast, so ETA's could get pushed out.
If you've decided you want to order something, best to order it so you get it sooner than later.
It's settled at 2''. So yeah, you'll probably get around that if you have added weight. Unless the 505's you get don't exactly give you 2''.

Got my suspension all installed and Mike advise was spot on. The stance is perfect to what I wanted with a slight front rake. Thanks for everything and will post pics shortly.

Thanks for the awesome pics.. I have the same IMS setup coming to replace the same Daystar-spaced XREAS as yours.. How does the IMS ride compared with the XREAS?
