My .02,

After having the lift for 1.5 years toytec, eibach, 5100 3" front, AAL rear. Rides great. I wish I had more lift, with a TAG winch bumper and 10,500 winch with nylon to save weight. Front is still down close to 3/4" after settling, I haven't measured in a while. But def down pretty far from my orig height from memory. I even thought of going up to the last notch on the billys going against all warnings, I figure if I do that and the stuff gets messed up then I'll go to 6". But I always heed the Caution from everyone. Anyway, if you are going to go with or even have a thought of going with a winch bumper and winch then get the heavier OME springs.

If you are use to having higher trucks then go with a good 6", even with all the complements I've gotten over time I still look at my truck and wish I'd have gone bigger.

 

this is my lift with eibach, billy's set at .85 and two inch aal in the rear...caster is way off (I have stock UCA's) and slight vibe's... but other than it drives great ..

285/70/17 duratracs 5100s @ .85 /toytec springs and 3/8" top plates and allpro expos in the rear.
Measures 23" hub to fender in the front and 23 3/4" in the rear.
Also removed the swaybar
And with the added weight of the bumpers it rides better then before the extra weight.only dropped about 1/4" after bumper but i haven't measured in a while.looks like its dropped more.now that i look back at this pic.

 

New measurements needed

 

Rechecked measurements today.
Not the best as my drive way is not level but its not to far off.
Dr side frt 23" hub to fender
Pas sd frt 23 1/4"
Dr rear 25"
Pas rear. 25 3/4"
I have no weight in the bed right now as i just cleaned the mud out.also the first post was typo should of said 24 3/4" in the rear as that is were it sits with the normal stuff i carry ( tools spare tire ect.)

I just had this lift installed about a month ago and am having the same exact issue, did you ever get an answer to this question/what did you do to fix the vibrations?

 

how much rear lift and what kind of rear lift. I still have take off vibes but i got rid of the rest.I just used a few washers under the carrier.But there are many different rear lifts and no truck seems to be the same.There is a really detailed tread on here about this.But the easyest thing to do is go to a driveline shop and have them fix it with a custom drive shaft if you have a newer truck or low miles (ie still in warranty)there is a tsb for it.Toyota thinks they have a fix.

 

the vibrations are so slight i really don't mind them...i've had the lift for a few months now and the vibrations are not getting worse so i might just save some money and leave it how it is till the weather gets warmer and then ill start experimenting...

 

Thanks for the info. I had a 1.5" AAL added to the 3+1 factory leafpack which ended up giving me about 2.25 inches of lift in the rear. Its a 2013 with 19K miles so it is still under warranty, i will talk with my dealer about the TSB. Thanks again for the help

 

Hey I need a favor from someone preferably someone that's lifted. I forgot to measure the height of my trailer ball before I put this back bumper on to see the difference in height. But I need to pull the boat outta storage this weekend and need to get a drop big enough to work. I used to use a 2 or 2.5" drop what ever the standard is. My truck had the 2"aal in the back too. Thanks

 

Here is something a little different..
I do not have starting measurements, but here is my 2014 dcsb off road with pro comp pro runner ss set at 2.5. Running 285/75/16. Stock coils.

Measurements after are 23 inches front driver side, and 23.25 front passenger
for now the rear is the stock 4 leaf sitting at 21 inches

The ride in my opinion is better then stock but some may think is too stiff.

 

My very first setup. I changed since then. Sorry, no measurements.

5100s set at .85 and 2" aal

Set at 0 with 5100 all around.

 

Ok, I am torn between two setups. I have a 2009 v6 Prerunner with offroad package. I do not want to lift my truck, just level it out. I already bought 5100's for the front and some ride rite air bags for the rear. I've been told the rear will remain at stock height when set to 5psi. Now I measured and my rear is about 1 3/4" higher then the front. I will either just set the billies at .85 and run the stock springs or get eibachs and set them to 0. I understand the eibachs will raise the front a little more. I'm more concerned with which setup will ride better, I commute 25 miles each way to work daily. Are the eibachs set at 0 a good ride? Has anyone had the billies with stock springs and then switched? Can you compare the difference in ride?

 

When i bought my truck it had this set up 5100 in front @.85 with stock springs and Firestone airbags in the rear. IT Road awesome!!!!super smooth and i miss that.the eibachs set at .85 are stiff as hell with out weight in the front.not sure at zero but im sure they are stiff there to.If you plan on heavy bumpers and armor then it will be fine if not use the stock springs.and i ran 5 psi in the back as well but when you need extra stiff for weight its as easy as adding air.also it set really nice and level.If you wheel and want bigger tires in the future you can add the eibachs and rear lift to your liking.

 

Thanks man, I think I,will just set them to .85 on my stock off-road springs.
