    3" coil over suspension lift and 3" body lift on 35's.
    I have a 2001 Tacoma extended cab and i put a toytec 3" suspension lift on it and it sat lower in front. Now, i replaced the spacers up front with bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks and it sits about a 1/4" higher than before (still not enough). I need to know what kind of coil springs to buy to lift my truck up to be level. I need about an 1" or 2" to get back to level. Help?????:confused:

    Engage Offroad long travel front and rear with some fat tires.
    you can't go any taller than 3" up front with stock lower and upper arms... if the rear is sitting higher, the rear lift is too much...

    at 2.5 to 3 inch front lift, you want to do 1.5 to 1.75 inch lift in rear to level out...

    what did you put in the rear?

    Light bar and bumper guard, 3/16 steel skid plates for engine, tranny and transfer box, OME 881 springs with 5100 shocks at mid clip. AAL in rear. Positraction rear diff.
    I used a OME 881 spring. That will give you 1.5 inches of lift, I think, maybe 1.75 inches and then I went with the 5100 set at mid clip. If that doesn't level it I suggest using a smaller block in the rear.

    Thanks guys! That's actually not a bad price on those springs. I'll be giving them a call soon to level out my truck.
