    Alright, so I have a 3" front leveling kit on my '03 tacoma and an inch and a half in the rear. But I have been curious lately, can the rear be stock height and fit my already on 33" mud tires? Make it squat a little. If I take my AAL off, anything that could substitute as a spacer between the axle and leaf pack that's maybe 1/2 an inch thick or 1" Max to place between it? (Side note: took my overload off but I wont be able to get it for another month) I removed the overload so I think I may need something to compensate for that... Just an idea. Any info would be great.

    I had 255s on my stock rear and they fit alright. Rubbed a little when flexed but you can always take the flares off. Not sure if a wider tire would rub more though because I'm pretty sure that mine tucked inside the opening

    3" Toytec spacers, Bilstein 5100s in the back with add a leaf and overloads removed.
    I had no lift in the rear for a little bit with my 33 12.50s. They'll fit

    Thanks!! But since I took my overload (bottom leaf) off, for whatever reason I can't remember, would that make it any different? I have longer shocks for the rear inch and a half lift so would I also have to get shorter shocks?
