The same measurement on the front gave me 5 inches. Now after the new tires the back is 6.5 inches from the fender, and the front is almost like 6.4 or 6.3 inches. So go put a tape measrue on the back tire at the highest point in the center, and measure teh space to the fender flare. if you're under 7.5 inches then for some reason your TSB didnt provide the same lift mine did

After the TSB and the stock tires mine is 6.5" from the top of the tire to the fender in the rear and 4.5" in the front. So I figure 5100's set at the middle position would work just right still being just a bit tall in the tail. I took measurements before and after the TSB from the ground to the top of the reciever hitch and I only got .75" of lift. I love the way the truck rides now and only want to level it out a little. Thanks for the info.

you'll be really happy with the ride, especially if you dont max out the shock. one piece of advice, get all 4 at once. i just got the front, and now i wish i got rear shocks too (the rears are not adjustable, they only come in stock length). the dampening effect of the 5100's is great and i can tell a difference when my front end goes over a speed bump and then the back end. i'll put them on the back eventually but it would have been cheaper and easier to do them all at once

Ok, listen up idiots!!! Last night i washed my truck (it already has a thin layer of pollen on it, black is a pain) and i'm planning on taking pics today and posting them when i get home. Unfortunately its really overcast today, i hope it doesnt rain. So all you idiots be patient and i'll post some damn pics!!!!

nd · 03-19-2008, 11:03 AM

Ok, i took pics today and loaded them into my Gallary. I'll have to take some more soon after i get my new wheels (if i get my wheels). I cant wait till the Meet so i can get some action shots

I tried to find something in the back yard to prop up one of hte front tires on but all i had was a tiny little stump. it didn't really do anything. Anyway, i'll see if i can figure out how to get those pics in this thread so you babies will stop whining

gimmie a break you dicks! i did this on my lunch break as it was starting to drizzle, i didnt have time to "pose" my truck like a super model.

I hate you guys....

Anyway, as you can tell there is still plenty of room in the wheel wells for 33's, but the next size up is also wider, and that is the biggest tire i can fit on my rim without rubbing the A-arm.

You don't have to pose Tacomas, they are just naturally photogenic. The truck looks good.

Only because you are driving the official truck of the northern alliance, will I say that it looks good.

We all hate you too.

Now you need to get bigger tires to fill that wheel gap.

yeah, thats where the new wheels come in, but even then it will be a while before those get replaced. I'm not sure i really want bigger tires though. I like having plenty of room in teh well for sharp turns and room for the tire to travel. Plus i dont actually NEED bigger tires, and they willjust burn more gas. is it really worth it to hurt your mileage for something you dont actually need? points to ponder.... but for now these will do what i want and they are a huge step up from stock
