    After reading through this thread it seems a lot of you had some rake before the lift and tried to achieve level after the lift. I have a 2016 TRD Sport that is already level? 21" center of wheel to fender all around. I bought it used last September and have looked for spacers but don't see anything that I can tell. Seems to be stock.

    I would like to get just around 3/4" of lift so I was thinking about...the sqeemish should look away at this point...getting some 1/2" spacers up front that should equate to about 3/4" of lift. They would be top spacers. Then add a 3/4" block in the back (if they make such a thing). The thinking is that I would stay level going this route and still get the amount of lift I am looking for. I would also stay within the travel range of the rear shocks. Since the truck is still basically new, under warranty and I would only do mild offroading for now, would this be a viable way to go?

    Are you sure you don't already have Bilstein shocks up front. It is really odd to have no rake. The reason I ask is that with the Bilsteins you can adjust up to the next ring groove and not need spacers. Just a thought. Mine is rwd so the rake was very apparent when I bought it new and most that I have seen, even 4 x 4, had some rake. Mine is perfectly level at 21.5" on all 4 corners after adding the Bilsteins up front. I have not installed the rear yet but they do accommodate up to a 1" lift/block.

    I went with ome's carrier bearing drop kit...and now that I'm thinking about I can't remember if I ended up using it or not. I'll have to look. I also have a ecgs bushing that I didn't install and should have. I think anyway. I have a slight vibration under 25 but it doesn't go away in 4wd. I put the tires on at the same time so I'm not sure if it's the tires or what.

    Do you guys think extended brake lines needed for lift: 2.5" to 3" front & 2" rear?
    (2016 Tacoma)

    Front: 6112 notch #6
    Rear: 5160, 3-leaf AAL + overload

    From what I've researched (I don't have that lift yet) the 5160's have like 9-3/4" extended length. So they may limit you from hanging on a brake line. I'll let someone else with the real-life experience chime in though. I'd say you'd be fine but it's not a bad upgrade just to be safe.

    I plan to run the 3 leaf AAL and the 5160's in the rear without the overload and I'm not worried about my brake lines. At least, not right now.

    You'll be fine at 2. There's guys running full Dakar/Deaver 402 packs with 5160s.

    How much lift you get with 886 and what size you running?

    do you still have some rake? I'm trying to decide on the 887s or 885s with HS AAL.

    Thanks for the info. I want to keep at least 0.5" of rake.

    Finally lifted mine after 18 months and 20k miles. Before on the stock suspension, tires are 265/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers.

    20160226_135548.jpg

    I wanted to bump it up about 2 inches and maintain the factory rake so I went with:
    OME 885 coils
    5100s (2nd gen) all around, front set to 0
    Wheelers 3 leaf Progressive AAL with overload leaf left in
    Driver side 1/4 in spacer

    Did the ECGS bushing replacement as a preventive measure.

    Gained about 2.25 inches front and back right after install, I anticipate the springs will settle about 0.5 - 1.0 inches in a week or so.
    20170720_134827.jpg 20170720_134401.jpg

    Hard to tell with the slope of my driveway but the rear is about 0.75 inches higher in the rear than front even with the toolbox and 100lbs of stuff in it.

    Rides just like the OEM bilstein shocks which I really liked, just wanted to have a little more height without making the tires look too small.

    Very pleased with the results.

    This is pretty much what I want to do. I might take out the overload leaf though if the front springs will settle that much.
