    Got the billies installed today set it at .85 seems like the ride is about the same to me but then again it's only been a couple of miles lol I didn't want to go with a spacer lift after researching all the reviews about it.just wanted that leveled look with no rake sorry for the crappy photos I will post better ones later

    Thanks. Nothing in the rear I just have the front bilsteins 5100 set at .85 because I just wanted the leveled look. Ride feels the same right now maybe a little better then stock but I only really drove about 10 miles on them. Cost me about $600 but I heard you can get it done for cheaper

    Yah that's true or maybe it could be the long bed lol I think you notice the rake more on long beds but that's jus my opinion

    I think its the geometry of the vehicle, fenders and wheel wells. Fenders look skinnier on the 16s so maybe gap seems more on 3rd gens. Either way it helps the aesthetics for 3rd gens if they wanna lift.

    A lean spacer is needed when using aftermarket coils. With the factory coils they are left/right specific and therefore a spacer is not needed. At least this is the case with the
    $90 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma With 4L Right Petrol intake air snorkel kit high performance system compatible kit Replacement black Rotational Molding (2005-2015)
    2005-2015, not 100% sure about 2016. The reason for the lean is the location of gas tank and battery being on the drivers side. Due to the difference in weight from left to right, Toyota had to design the right side coil to support the added weight.

    So if you buy aftermarket coils, get the lean spacer, if you retain the factory coils no spacer is needed :thumbsup:

    You paid 600? The parts are 168 before tax and shipping. The other 400 was for labor? Not cheap..

    OP, looks great! I'm wondering if you could measure when you get a chance; from the hub up to the edge of the fender, front and rear. Looks really level. Good thread:)
