2012 tacoma leveling

Hello everyone, new to forum and figured id post up my little truck and pick everyones brain a little bit. planning to level soon and new rubber, thinking about bilstein 5100 adjustable up front and rear. But this got me thinking as i have the 3 leaf set up in the rear, would a better option be aal in rear and oem trd off road coil and factory trd bilsteins for that little extra lift?


also the truck has 20,000 on it, since ive bought it sometimes while driving i have some faint driveline noise that only happens when letting off the gas at certain speeds. I have read extensively on this site about RC having this issue, which makes me keen on leveling it. ive heard things like flipping driveshaft around, new driveshaft. Other then that trucks a solid runer What are ya'lls thoughts?

oops will delete thanks

 

i initially had 5100's set at 1.75" with stock everything else to level my truck and it worked out almost perfectly flat. however, you lose a ton of the plush ride 5100's offer by pre-loading your coils.
if you're already thinking about putting an add-a-leaf to the rear end, 5100's set at 0" and coils in the front to provide the lift is a far superior option as far as i've experienced.

 

cant delete whatever didnt relize i hit 3rd gens

the shock never would have issues compressing offroading and cvs wer all good? Whats a nice coil?

current issue is street tires suck and driving in rocky trails and dirt roads in stock ride is not what i need it to be as i live in rural area

 

Hah. I've clicked on this section just about every visit since I am so used to hitting the second forum down from the top. It's a conspiracy I tell ya.

 

5100's at 1.75" were a slight improvement over stock... 5100's set at 0" are a vast improvement over stock.
no cv issues to speak of being the 1.75" setting didn't seem to put much strain on them. now that i'm at 3" i'll have to keep tabs on them.
i can only speak for what i have and that's toytec coils but many like OME too.
