    Ok first off i have a 16 taco with the BDS 6" lift i also have a AAL on the rear. I was late in adding the front fox coilovers for that lift. After i did that and adjusted the coilovers far as they can be adjusted to level it, it started to settle and my tires have been scrubbing pretty bad. I believe i have 2 maybe 3 choice choices add a 1/4 inch top plate over the coilover or put a 650lb coil spring on it or both? Any input?..... helpful input thanks.

    Not sure how bds is accomplishing the lift of 6”. How much lift came from the dropping of the lca?

    I wouldn't do both but I would start with just adding the top spacer to see if it clears. Do you know exactly where you are rubbing from? May just need to heat up some plastic and move things forward. You can go up to a heavier spring rating but if its a stock bumper I would start with just the top spacer and go from there first.

    The tires are rubbing the plastic on the fenders flares next to the cab mount chop. It's not bad when im alone riding but if i add a passenger they turn heads when im turning from tires grinding plastic. It definitely needs some lift just not sure which way to go first. But I'll try out the top plate first that way seems a cheaper route to start off with.
