You may run into a problem with that ruf setup. The leaf pack is too thick you will rub the tie rod on your highsteer. I had a 7 leaf pack and mine rubbed so i had to make adjustments. Also i think the ass end of that thing is gonna be way high if your running just rufs in the front. I run a 5 leaf ruf pack with a 2 inch add a leaf for a 2wd 2008 toyota tacoma. The reason for this is the add a leaf is longer gives the pack some rigidity and a little more height to clear for steering (steering gets tight with rufs) i believe add a leafs for first gens have some crazy spring rate of like 1000 the tacomas are around the 400's i believe so its not extremely stiff but still gives the pack a little more support. Just some thoughts for you. :twocents: The build is comming around very nice tho keep up the good work!!
