    They don't have adjustable rears like the front? Someone is selling a set of blistein rears that add 0-2" of lift in BST marketplace

    Things and stuff and such
    They dont add lift. They are usable for up to 2" of lift. Over 2" lift you'll need something longer.

    The front 5100's add lift because they have settings to change the preload on the spring. The rear shock is completely independent, so there's no way a shock can add lift. It can only accommodate lift as Andy states.

    Doesn't the TSB from Toyota add about that much lift? I've never done it, so not sure.

    I'm possibly looking to lose my 3" front spacer lift to improve ride quality because it's pretty stiff. The only thing I'm worried about is fitting my 285/75 tires in there with blistein 5100s maxed lift in the front to replace the spacer.
    Would I have any problem with fitting them?
    Doing this would also make my truck level instead of having a bro lean.

    I have a 3in spacer in the front of mine and had some bro lean also so i bought a 2in aal from wheelers offroad for $99 shipped. Now the truck sits level. It will def fix the bro lean if thats what your looking for and you can still run the 285's

    I had Sandman614's help. It took us about 2 1/2 hours to do both sides. It really wasn't to bad but he had done it before and i had not. I need to post some pics of it.

    Okay guys this is annoying as hell. I installed some wheel spacers a month or so ago and ever since then, my steering wheel vibrated when driving over approx 50MPH. Today when we put my new tires on (285/75/16), i went and got them balanced, then went and got a front end alignment. The steering wheel and the whole truck shakes horribly and it is barely drive-able without being shook to death.

    Any clues?? I was thinking maybe a warped wheel spacer since it started with them to begin with?

    Take the wheel spacers off and see what happens. I have 1" spacers with 35's on my 4runner, no vibes at 70 mph :D
