Yes another darn 5100 question

5100's front/5125's rear setting at 2" with Toyota TSB and Toytec AAL for Tacoma and I'm completely level. Plus the Toytec AAL allows me to handle extra load.

 

I have a Double Cab 4x4 with a shell on back.

I have the rear tsb, and front 5100s set at 1.75.

It sits just slightly nose high, but looks level on most terrain.

 

Go with the .85 setting

with the cap and anything you put in the back

you will be glad you did.

Plus the higher you set it, the more complicated the alignment gets

Asked this question already and had got good feedback although now I may add the AAL. Currently raised to 1.75. Sits pretty level with a mild 0.5inch less in the back. Barely noticable.

 

Im 1.75 with the tsb AAL and siting pretty much level.

 

MAXTacoma,
I have the same issue you had; 1.75 in the front and my springs are shot in the back. Are you level with the AAL. Right now, I am sagging in the rear. Freaking drives me crazy when I walk up to it in a parking lot.

 

Yeah I am level now. I did the AAL first and if you look in my pic gallery you will see the results. I was really ass high. Then I did the 5100's in the front to level it out and set them at 1.75. The truck sits level w/ no load/trailer. But as soon as you put some weight in the back is squats. I do alot of towing/hauling so my leaf pack is shot. I think the only thing keeping my off the bump stops is my AAL, but w/ time I think that is getting weak as well.

 

Wow this thread blew up. Yeah .85 for sure as I also tow a 6X10 Wells Cargo enclosed trailer and 3 dirtbikes.

 

Here you go. It is on a slightly sloping driveway, but in general, its about level to .25" low in the rear. I may add airlift springs in the future...if it weren't for the economy, I'd have a supercharger and procomp lift by now

5100s at 1.75 front, TSB rear, SnugTop shell

Also posted a pic of the tire clearance with stock 265/65/17 tires, at full lock-- that's what you're dealing with.

 

Yeah...you're right....How about full custom long travel with solid front axle As long as I'm dreaming.....

 

Is the 1.5 aal the same approx.has the tsb? What would 1.75 and the 2" aal accomplish? Slight lift with factory rake?

 

The TSB gave me 1" of lift after settling.

 

Do you know what the toytec 1.5 aal gives? I've heard its about the same as the tsb.

 

Here's mine with the rear Spring TSB and front Billies set to .85. 265x70 tires on stock steelies and Spidertrax in all 4 corners. I like the stance.

 

Im putting 5100's on right as i speak. im in the shop getting it done and set to 2.5 or whatever the highest is. ill let you know how it goes and looks

 

What are you putting in the back? Are you doing rear 5100s too?

 

Yyeesss sir

 

5100 @ 1.75 and rear spring TSB left me an inch high in the front, had to put in Toytec 1 1/2 AAL . now have 1/2 rake ...perfect.

 

how did it leave you an inch high? im at 2.25 or 2.5 whatever it is and im pretty much level haha
