    Anyone with a tacoma that is lifted 3"s or less that lives in the southeast (Alabama, Missisippi,Arkansas, Tenn.,or the Florida panhandle) that would let me look at thier truck in person for a few minutes please let me know. I have an 07 DCLB TRD Sport that I want to lift/level and would like to see one in person and get some ideas/advice. I travel this area for work. Or if you have pics and info on your lift and tire size, especially side views, send them my way! Thanks!

    Eibach,toytec coils are good for between 1.6 and 2"
    They are a little stiffer than stock, so it is best to find someone with em and go for a ride.....I have mine on 5100s set at 0 lift. That said, the eibachs alone gave me about 2"

    Prerunner automatic access cab long bed...........other cab/driveline/bed configurations may see diff heights.

    I have the eibach coils and I swear they are way softer than stock. I have them set at .85 and have about 2.5 inches of lift. Maybe my offroad coils were just way stiff?

    Honestly, I think mine are plush too...........but the majority of folks here say they are a rougher ride.... at 620lbs, they should be.

    But, like you I think they are much nicer of a ride than the stock trd offroad coils.

    Just figured I would err on the safe side.

    I always said they rode smoother, and got plenty of ppl saying otherwise. I figured maybe it was in my head?

    So I'm kinda in the same boat as the OP and I hope I'm not thread-jacking here, but...all you guys that are running 265/75/16's with 5100 Billys up front, also did the AAL mod to the rear.

    I was told by the supplier where I just ordered the Billy 5100 leveling kit (which includes new shocks all the way 'round but stays with stock coils and leafs) doesn't require any lifting of the rear in order to "level" the front.

    Can someone educate me here? :confused:

    You don't have to do anything to the rear to level it in most cases (because of the adjustable settings on the Billies), as the trucks leave the factory with a rake. Details on your truck will help get you a more definite answer.

    Thanks Boone. I have an '06 Access cab 4cyl manual 5 speed 4X4, completely stock except aftermarket off-set rims currently running 245/75/16's.
    What setting on the new Billy front pre-load would be level with a stock rear height then? Maybe that will be in the instructions.

    Looks like we're just a couple hrs apart, I'm right outside Brevard, NC.
