    I've looked but can't find what I'm looking for.
    I currently have the maxtrac 4inch spindles and Billy 5100s set at .85 in the front and a 2 inch single add a leaf in the rear.
    I'm planning on lowering my 5100s to 0 and adding some ome 887s, but have no idea on what to do for the rear. I'm looking to add 3 inches of rear lift. so is there any other options that's not as expensive as a new leaf pack.
    Shackle flip?
    Blocks?
    Stacking a progressive aal with my single?(if that's even possible)
    I know blocks are awful but it would be temporary until I can save up for new leaf pack.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Dakar leaf pack. Do it once and do it right.

    +1.

    If you want to do additional research before pulling the trigger, OP, recommend you spend some time in the Suspension forum. A couple of the threads I found most useful are the Tacoma Lift FAQ/Guide and Suspension Lift Info stickies.

    Dakars all the way. I don't think the shackle flip actually gives you lift so much as it gives you more flex or downtravel.

    Dakars would be great but they only provide 2.75" of lift, when I'd need about 5 inches of total lift. I've looked around and haven't found a leaf pack that provides 5inches of lift. I know you can get a custom leaf pack made but I can not afford that at the moment. So I'm looking for a cheapish way to bump the rear up some some I'm not driving to to moon when I add the 887s
    Okay I wasn't too sure on if the shackle flip actually provided lift.

    Ultimately my goal is the all pro expo leaf pack with an aal or one inch block, but I just need something in the mean time

    Dakars are funny about the lift they provide. I'm getting 4" from mine but they were the + specs for both sides. I'm also not running alot of weight back there either.

    Dakars, I got 3" inches of lift and with the maxtracs I sir 1/2" lower in the back. I plan on putting the aal to give me the 5/8" more that would make it sit perfect

    Edit. The price your going to pay to do anything is going to compare to the price of Dakars

    Meh on the Dakars. Do the 63 swap with 5" shackes. You will have a better quality ride and more travel.
