What does everyone think about the 2.5" Toytect Pro Basic Kit?

YCPaul530 · Sep 6, 2008

I've been reading everyones postings, I have a question now!

So I ordered all four 5100's, and a AAL. I have 33'' tires I want to mount on my 05 taco, they are the toyos 295/70/17 on 17x9 wheels. Is this 2.5'' lift in the front going to be enough combined with the AAL and rear 5100's??? I have currenlty the OME 885 coils with spacers, but I was wondering if it would be better to do all four 5100's or the 885's in the front and 5100's on the rear? Any info will be greatly appreciated!

SO in a nutshell, 3'' toytec OME885 vs. front 5100, is it a "huge" difference? WIll they both fit 33'' tires?

Ummmm............your running 885's with spacers? Your ride must be pretty stiff! 33's are still gonna rub a little, but it is no big deal. 885's give more lift than the 5100 adjustables.

With a long AAL you will be fine. Im running a long AAL with my TSB spring pack and it works great. Still flexes like stock, and when towing my boat, gear, food, drinks, and buddies, the rear is only about 1" lower than the front. I have some pics in my gallery of my truck hitched up to my boat (2900#'s) if you want to check it out. With the boat only it sits level. At 1.75" of lift, you should be able to get the alignment within spec. For an AAL, get one that is only 1" of lift, otherwise the ride will get a little stiff.

I thought you had the Drakars? (OME Leaf Springs?).. I have seen your ride with the boat, looks AWESOME! That's my goal, although I do NOT want to buy TC UCA so I think 285/75/16 is out.. My rear is exactly 1.75" higher than the front. 2.5 in front & 1" in back or 1.75 in front is swell for me. Can you please do me the favor of Linking me to the right AAL for the rear? Every kit I see has a "short" looking AAL and leads me in the direction of blocks. You know I have been looking..

If I am going 3" or great, OME shocks with OME springs (Your Advice, and I will follow if that direction is taken).. I am really interesting in the 5100's now.. seems cheap, and adjustable so I can play with it. Can they be adjusted on the fly?? please let me know.. one more dang inch in back the via AAL with the TSB susp. would be... relaxing

Thank you Chris!

The 5100's cant be adjusted "on the fly". You have to take them out to adjust them. Not a big deal, and you will more than likely leave them where you set them and be quite happy. I hadd a spring shopp make my AAL's for me as I wanted the best ride, and a little more arch on the driverside to account for extra weight. It was about $60.00 for both sides and they did a splendid job. If you dont have a local spring shop, or you dont feel comfortable going down that route, check out Ranch. I have heard good things about their AAL's. I'll check online and see what I can dig up for ya.

Nope, everything is laying in my garage brand new, the 885's and 5100's, and wheels! I want to wait until I have everything ready and then get it all done at once. Thats why I'm debating what to do! will I need spacers? I have no clue, this is all new to me! I'll probly go with the 885's and AAL with 5100's in the rear...This seems like the best from what I've read...

Ok. The 885's and AAL in the rear with the 5100's sounds good to me. What about front shocks?
