So what is everyone running in the rear

This

 

The blocks comment was a joke as well.



How high do you want to go in the front? You've got a PreRunner right?

 

Not far off, just put daystar lift blocks in the rear with a 3'' strut spacer on fronts to complement it. It was a PAIN in the ass, had to work to get the struts back in. Wish someone would have told me that before.

Alignment tomorrows

 

Just trail riding but I like to play ... I do use for a daily driver an tow ... just wanted to get some feedback on what everyone has been secusful with ...

 

I take technical help very seriously.

 

Sage, do you have a specific budget in mind?

Mhm.

 

if you tow dakars by OME are a good option. but you will need a front lift for this application

edit-

saw you said you wanted 4-6" lift in the back. dakars are like 2.75" i think

 

Don't really want to spend more than 300 and that's hi balling it... Need about 4" to 5" and don't want blocks (especially wood) lol Jk

 

yeah thats not happening. that ammount of a quality lift will not come at that price.

 

x2 only thing your getting for that price is the wooden blocks haha

 

What do you think for the back only about 4" to 5" price wise ... Everyone talks about 5100's not to familiar what will that get me and what price am I looking at ?

 

your wanting to drop the coin on spindles. yet not rear lift? I confused sir

and 5100s are shocks and struts, the front preload the springs to achieve lift, the rear 5100s are shocks, so no lift there.

 

Just a feeler tring to do it right ( on a budget ) that's why I'm asking


Thanks for everyone's help

 

since your talking about spindles im hoping you have a prerunner. if your truck is 4x4 you cant run lift spindles.

there are a couple ways you can "do it right"

spindle lift/coilovers that you have talked about is a great choice, but your gunna pay, and your gunna pay to get the ass of the truck up as well. its the nature of the beast.

if you are looking for more budget friendly your going to have to go to a smaller lift. OME makes great products, paired with some dakars. this is generally around a 3" lift.

also all pro makes some decent rear leaf packs that give 3" of lift i believe.

there is the ever popular 5100/eibach lift that can get you around 2.5" of lift in the front if you preload the eibachs but ive read somewhere that its not recommended.

also you can take the coilover route and not run spindles. but your looking at around a grand there just for the front. these are adjustable and can go anywhere from stock to about 3" usually.

generally to sum it up, stay away from spacers and you should be alright, everything else is just preference and performance.

with 3" lifts you also have the ability to run add a leafs in the rear to get some lift to level the truck out. but if you tow i highly recommend getting new packs, the toyota packs suck. plain and simple. I tow a boat thats not that heavy, and my packs are starting to droop, even with an AAL.

 

Maverick you have been great help how much do you think some all pro leaf packs go for ...

Can I find some used I know I can look it up but I have you right here ... What if I go aal and blocks for now and save for ( the right way in the back ) will I have any driveline issues

 

bout $400, they offer a standard and expo leaf pack. for towing id recommend the expos

and in all honesty. the best way is to just save up and get what you want.

i used to think the way you are right now, went out and bought a shitty pro comp lift, and am not looking to replace the entire thing. so basically im out 450 bucks cuz i couldlnt wait. now im regrettin it.

 

you can get a set of all-pro expos with 5150 rear resi shocks for $500, and theyre offering a 20% discount until the 28th

 

If I go expos and a ( for example rancho shock in the rear ) about how much lift will that give me ..


( hey kona thanks for your help too ... ) you guys have been awesome


Thanks for putting up with all my stupid questions

 

expos give you around 3", shocks will do no lifting.

 

^^
Loaded, expos give 3", unloaded they give 1" more


and like he said, shocks only stop the leaf pack from bouncing all over the place, they dont provide lift
