Help With Rear Lift

I just bought a 2000 Tacoma. It has a 3" RevTek lift on it. (http://store.revtek.com/p/1995-1-2-...uspension-system-also-requires-2-of-p-n-r2515)

I am looking at getting rid of this lift and getting something with better ride quality and want to stay with a 3" lift. Currently the rear has the block and some longer bilstein shocks (unsure of the model). Should I just measure the size of the block and get an AAL of the same height?

Front:- Should give me 3" lift correct?
Bilstein 5100's
Eibach Springs

Back:
AAL - I am not sure what size to get. How do I figure this out?

Thanks for any help!

 

i believe if you set the bilsteins to .85 with the eibach coils you will achieve either 3 inches or damn near close. i'm not sure of a 3" AAL so i'd recommend a 1.5" or 2" AAL with a 1.5" or 1" lift shackle in the rear. or however you want to split the 3 inches between the two options. but the higher lift on the AAL will usually result in a stiffer ride.

 

I've read there are 3" AAL by Toytec. I was thinking of going with those but was not sure if thats what I needed. There are already bilsteins shocks in the rear but I am not sure if they are long enough.

I dont mind a rough ride. I've always had cars that were done up suspension wise and I'm so used to it now thats it is not even funny.

 

If you are just running stock Billies you are going to need to replace them. You're are probably just better off ordering the hole kit with the with the Eibach springs, 5100 and AAL from Toytec. I have been running that set up now for a little over a year with no issues.

 

What would I need for the rear lift? The truck already has a 3" lift and I want to keep it.

 

Any link to the kit? I don't see it on their website. I don't think they're stock bilsteins as there is a 3"lift on the rear.

 

I am not sure if it worked I am on my IPhone.

 

The link did work. It's a good set up that wont break the bank, there are quite a few others running. I wouldn't suggest running any lift with the stock shocks the is a good chance you can damage the when the travel is maxed out.

 

Can you post one link back? It doesn't show any info about the kit. Just a big pic.

 

I got it that time still learning the phone.

 

Nice!! That is just what I was looking for!!! Thank you sir.

 

Not a problem.

 

Billy 5100's set at zero w/Toytec/Eibach coils will give you 3"

If your still stock in back dump the block put on 2 Chevy springs per side on rear get your 3" ,superior ride on/off road, keep most of your $$$ in the pocket for other MODS....

 

I got the 2 inch add a leaf with my my kit, it gave the truck about an inch or so of rake over the 3 inches in the front. I took my Overloads out and it leveled out.

 

I just noticed I linked you to the second gen sorry . You can pretty much piece that kit together I also know a couple people running this on their first gen and are very happy with it.

 

I am actually going to order the ome full kit with 883 springs and drakar leafs. I've read it offers better ride quality. Since its my dd I chose those.

 

VERY wrong.

thats for 2nd gens ONLY. 1st gens you NEVER precomress Eibach coils.

This is a great choice man. Highly recommended. If you don't have the abilty as well get the coils pre mounted from Wheelers so then its a very easy install.

this is a great option.

sorry i didn't call you!

 

No worries then brother. I will be getting them pre setup since its only a little more. Plus their kit comes with the extended brake line and some other odds and ends.

 

yes its a great kit and will last a long while as well.
