    Anyone in the Auburn Mass area that knows how to install 5100's on my 2015 Double Cab 4x4? Or can anyone send me to a trustworthy garage in my area that can do it correctly? Thinking about adding the complete put together Toytec Eibach/5100 combo, and the AAL for TSB springs in the rear.

    If I don't plan on doing any wheeling, Will the Rancho Quicklift Leveling Struts work out just fine for leveling purposes?

    Okay my last Tacoma had the pre built Toytec Eibach/5100 combo. I liked it but had to replace my UCA's I don't mind doing all this as long as some place really reputable will do it. No clue or desire to do it myself?

    1.75 on my stock coils and the TSB AAL in the rear will level it nicely correct?

    Why harsh? From reading seems like a lot of people go this route and are happy with it. Also, i thought the 1.75 setting will level it with the rear tab springs without an aal?

    I thought it would level it as well, I could be wrong. I had this set up on my last Tacoma before the full 3 inch lift and I noticed absolutely no difference in ride.

    My old setup for reference: 5100 's at 1.75" w/tsb springs.

    Edit:
    As for the ride, i thought it was much better. Most people that complain about the harsh ride have the set at the max setting (2.5") which is a lot of preload on the coils.

    All I did on mine was add the 5100s at 1.75 on the front, I have the sport package so came with 4 rear leafs. Leveled out nicely.

    2011 TRD Sport 4x4 with 5100's @ 1.75" in front, TSB leafs in rear with stock shocks. Pretty much dead nuts level and corrected the factory lean with the 13mm spacer on driver side.

    I'm only about 1000 miles in, but I like the ride a lot better. It's firmer, but not "harsh".

    In my opinion it improved my ride quality, it's the way the truck should have been from the factory.

    If you have the rear spring TSB, the 1.75" notch will level it out. If you don't have the rear spring TSB, the .85" notch will level it out.
