Here's my current parts list (not including tools) for my upcoming lift:
  • OME lift (includes coilovers and 3-leaf AAL with U-bolts)
  • axle shims (3°)
  • leaf pack poly bushing kit (to replace stock bushings in stock leafpacks)
  • sway bar drop (don't think I NEED it but doing it anyway)
  • carrier bearing drop (FK29)
  • CV axle bushing+seal (from ECGS)
  • auto grease (for CV axle)
  • LSD gear oil (diff lube)
  • liquid pump (for gear oil)
Truck is 2017 Sport 4x4 DCSBMT. I have tools covered, including special tools needed to replace CV axle bushing. Not doing diff drop yet, going to play it by ear and might do later. Also I should mention I already have uniball UCAs installed.

Am I forgetting anything? Also can anyone confirm if I shouldn't use LSD gear oil for front diff? I know my Sport should use LSD gear oil for rear diff so assumed same for front...

It all looks good. I never used the axle shim for my rear lift (Wheeler's progressive AAL). You won't need the front diff drop and no need for LSD oil on either diff. ALSD on 09 and up trucks is brake actuated, not a mechanical LSD. Most on the shelf oil has some mixed in but it won't hurt anything.

Gotcha thanks. Well I didn't get the gear oil yet so if you're sure I don't need LSD oil I'll get normal then.
Are you saying that with a progressive AAL you shouldn't need shims? I'm planning on getting a 3-leaf progressive AAL for this lift, but I read a few places online that the shims do a world of improvement for driveline vibration etc. I figured why not.

Toyota dropped the mechanical LSD in 2009 for the Taco. It's open. If you needed it, there would be an LSD oil sticker on the pumpkin.

I never used the shims for mine. I had vibration before lifting. LOL!
