    Alright, I've got a set of Toytec 885's with top plate spacer sitting in my garage and I'm debating on just installing them on the factory shocks, or getting some 5100s since i'm already running them in the back. How is the ride and everything else with this setup?.......

    All right guys, I just got the Toytec 3" kit with 885 coils, TSB AAL for the rear and some TC UCA's. I allready have 5100's on all four corners. In order to get the full 3", I have to install the top plate spacer, right? Will I experience any binding with this set-up on the street? WW, have you had any issues with your set-up?

    Yes you need to install that 1/2" spacer. Remember to set the 5100'a at 0" height because the springs will do the lifting. I have had no issues so far, knock on wood, and it rides great!!!:D

    Alright, good to hear. I think with that setup it should work good especially since I have extra weight on the front due to my bumper.

    Oh that's right, you have extra weight in the front. Ever think about going with the 886's?:confused:

    If you have a double-cab, 886's are recommended with a winch and/or bumper...

    Yup that is correct. I just got the 885's because I don't plan on adding anything to heavy to the front.

    It's the wife's T4R so it's stock
    885s are good for your access cab and bumper up front... how much does that weigh?
