    Get the TSB done next week on my 2010 D/C S/B 4X4 Sport. Never will be off road. Do I go with 5100's in the front, Toytec coilovers, or the ready lift 3" and 1" block in the back. Just want to level it really, and add bigger tires.

    I just used the front part of the ReadyLift to get mine level. I may put the rear block in anyway for towing and when I have weight in the back.

    Most on this forum are against those kits and recommend the Bilstiens. The spacer for the struts and the front diff have worked fine for me.

    5100s on stock coils would be cost effective with tsb in rear to level it out hit up downsouth motor sports they got good deals on 5100s

    Did you the tsb done as well? Any pics you can post? Any alignment issues? Did you keep the stock wheels, just with bigger tires.

    here is pic of toytec notice how its nose high i forget what height they were set at prolly at around 2 but the toytec "coilover" lifts a lil more compared to a 5100 and stockspring due to the small top plate spacer on the toytecs

    What else besides the Toytec coilovers will I need for the front? The kit comes with the sway bar kit? Did you need to do the diff drop as well? Don't need new UCA right? Thanks all for your time. Any alignment issues with the Toytec's?

    the toytecs came with swaybar relocators i am 2wd so i dun have cv's to worry about but im pretty sure if you stay around 2.5 inches you prolly wont need diff drop and new uca's maybe a 4x4 can chime in on this about cv angles n stuff
