    I lifted mine with the 2 inch leveling spacers. I didn't need to do anything about brake lines or ABS. They fit on just fine. I didn't do anything to the bump stop. I know we're supposed to extend the bump stops because so the shocks won't bottom out on itself.

    I had to bend the brackets in the rear for the brake lines because I didn't use the relocation kit.

    I didn’t do exactly the same thing but I lifted my 2016 DCSB Sport with a 2” block in the front and a pro comp aal kit in the rear leaf pack which added about 2”. I didn’t have any issues with brake line length, but I did have to jimmy the rear brake line guide bracket to accommodate for the new angle. 2” lift seems to be pretty moderate for most trucks so you should be fine. Are you planning to do the install yourself?

    I'm lifted 3 inches in the front and 2 in the rear with stock brake lines. Even at full droop I never had an issue.

    Best color out there in my opinion. Never would have thought about the color until I seen it in person.

    I got the Bilsteins also and had 4 wheel parts install them, nothing else needs to be done. Stock brake lines worked just fine.

    I thought 1.1" (3rd setting) in the front with 5100's levels the Taco? Does it not make it level with the rear??

    When I got mine installed I wanted it on the highest level. I picked it up and the guy said they put in on the middle level(even though I said highest:argue:) , at the highest they usually get complains that it’s too “pre runner”. With that said the middle setting made mine level with the back.

    Txs for that Bree. Did you end up raising the front higher, or did you leave it at the setting they provided?

    It’s still where they set it. In the future I want to get new aal or a package So depending how that makes the back I may then change to the highest setting in the front.

    Also btw My cousin has these on his truck also on the highest setting and it does have a little squat to it.
