    I know this has been asked a lot but I’m still confused. I’ve been thinking about getting a ToyTec 3 1 kit. The company has told me the Tacoma will be exactly level front and back but it seems to me it would have a reverse rake. Am I missing something? I’ve also considered the billstein 5100 all the way around, cuz i want the front to be the exact same with the back but what’s the max lift I can get from 5100’s in front and back. Thanks for all info!

    It should be level with a 3/1

    5100s should lift up to 2.5” if I recall correctly.

    These trucks normally sit higher about 2” in the rear, so you can either lift just the front 2”, or the rear 1” and the front 3”, etc... to get it to sit level.

    Also just to make sure you are informed, rear shocks don’t provide lift, only allow for lift.
    You can only lift the rear with blocks (not recommended), new thicker/more arched leaf springs, or with a kit that adds leafs to the Oem pack.
