    Hey guys I have a ‘14 TRD off-road DCSB I’m thinking of putting the 5100’s on with 883’s for a simple level and better ride. I can’t find any pictures of this setup with the stock size 16” tires. Seen a few with next size tire up but no factory size. Anybody have this setup with some pictures? Thanks

    Not the exact set up you’re looking for but it may be helpful. Should be a close comparison. 2014 DCSB with 884’s, 5100s all around, and OME heavy duty leafs.

    You may need to do something with the rear-end depending on the severity of your current leaf spring sag.

    Edit: with stock 17 inch wheels

    Thanks for the reply. Not planning on doing anything to the back just level out the front. If I get just a 1” out of the 883’s it’ll be perfectly level which is what’s advertised. Back is exactly 1” lower. Seeing some guys getting 1.25” out of the 883’s so we’ll see. If anything I could get some new oem leafs in the back

    I think you meant to say, "Back is exactly 1" higher." If it's only going to take 1" of lift to level your truck then your current leafs are getting tired & sagging, as generally in stock form the rear sits around ~2" higher than the front. A more cost effective option to consider would be just to buy some like new front & rear take offs (including leafs) from a 3rd Gen TRD Off Road.

    Yup you’re right my back is 1” higher my bad. I thought of that and even looked on marketplace around here but be hard to find around. Took me forever to find a set of gen3 off-road wheels. Guess I could check the 2nd Gen bst….I haven’t done that yet

    Generally not a fan of the camper top, but your truck is beautiful.
