    Hey all,

    I've had my new Tacoma for about a week and a half now and freaking love it!

    I would like to know what type and how much lift do I have.
    The rim tire package is 285/75/16 16x8.

    So all the suspension experts help a TW brother out:thumbsup:
    Sorry she is so dirty, the weather has been terrible in North Texas the past few days.

    Basic spacer in front for 3" and looks like 2" block in the back.

    Looks like a 3" in the front, also considering the fact that your tires are 33s

    And your leaf springs look like that because of the lift block in the back

    Thanks everyone!
    Will the TRD Pro suspension kit give me this same amount of lift? Would like to keep running the 285/75/16 tires since theyre new.

    The TRD pro suspension lifts the front 2", not so sure if it lifts the back any

    Definitely spend time here reading through builds and see what you like vs what you need. TRD Pro suspension isn't for everyone, and there's a lot better options for far less money.

    If you don't plan on offroading the spacer lift is all you need right now, it keeps the ride close to factory. Upgrade later once you figure out what you really want.

    You really should do something about the rear leaf springs first. The 2 leaf pack (like yours) on my '13 OR lasted about 45K miles with an AAL. Buy a set of low-mile used 3 leafs and put a wheelers AAL with factory overload under them as the low-cost fix.

    5100's all around with OME 884 at 0. Weathertechs, Carhartt seat covers. BFG KO2's 265/70/17. T4R SEMA wheels. 18% tint on front windows. General Springs HD 4 leaf pack, Leer 100 XR shell.
    spend a couple weeks looking at others trucks/build threads/ and the suspension forum. then decide what you want to do within your budget and how you plan on using it. just look and read for a bit. your truck is fine until you decide the best way to go for you

    Will that set-up give me the same inch lift in the back if I do in fact have 2" blocks?
    My truck looks pretty level as it sits now, would like to keep it that way if anything add a .5'-1" in the rear.

    Thanks for the reassurance. Don't plan on wheeling this thing anytime soon so I have time to dissect the suspension route I want to go.

    The wheelers progressive AAL + factory overload will give you about 2" on a decent factory pack. Your leafs appear to be too far gone to just add the AAL in place of the blocks you have.

    I would really like to get a set of the TRD Beadlock wheels off the Pro's and keeping my 285/75/16 tires.

    The Beadlocks are 16x7.5 (not sure what the offset is) and my current wheels are 16x8 -12 offset.
    Will they sit closer to my suspension or cause any issues?
