Remove leaf 5 lug 2009

So will removing a leaf on my 5 lug taco 2009 drop it

 

Ummmm

 

You can just add a spacer to lower it in the rear.

 

Switching to the 6 lug leaf springs will drop your truck as they have a bigger arch.

 

Yeah cause I’m doing a 2/3 drop on it tomorrow and I’m wondering if it’s not low enough if that’s a way I can go lower

 

I’m only doing a 3 inch block in the rear and I was wondering if it wasn’t to low

 

If you simply remove a leaf, you'll lose stability in the rear end, and kill your carrying capacity. Also if you're going 3 inches, that's pretty much the limit without doing a c-notch to your frame if I'm not mistaken.

 

I’m gonna do a notch this summer

 

I’m looking to do a 5/5.75 drop

 

What wheel size do y’all recommend for that drop

 

17 or 18. I'm on an 18x10, I think 18x9 would've fit a little bit better. The only rub point I have is the rear quarters, but that could also be due to the -12 offset these wheels have. Running a 275/60R18 if I remember correctly.

 

So how much would taking the middle leaf out drop it

 

I wouldn’t do it. The rear suspension will be so soft it’ll bottom over every bump and forget putting anything in the bed.

 

This x2. The 5 lug leaf pack is already thin with three leafs. To answer your question though, taking the middle leaf out would possibly get you an inch or so. Depends on the condition of your leaf pack as well.

 

So do regular 6 lug leafs 2wd drop my truck

 

Yes. The six lug trucks got the 4x4 leaf pack which is thicker with more arch.

 

Even if it’s just a 2wd 6 lug

 

Yes. The prerunners got the 4wd suspension even though they were a 2wd.

 

Alr thankyou

 

And do you think it will drop it like 1.5
