5100 fronts: 1.75" or 2.5"? (rear TSB)

I did a search but did find the answers to these specific questions.

I'm curious who did what & why. I did the TSB a few months ago & now I've got about 2.75" rake to make up. I realize the rear may settle a little bit more but probably not too much. I also read that if you go 2.5" not only will the ride be a little bit more harsh but there might be a chance of having clearance issues between the spring & LCA. I guess common sense says to do the 1.75" setting & call it a day but I just don't want to decide to do that and then wish I had gone 2.5" after I'm done.

So, those w/stock springs & rear TSB: which height did you set your fronts to? Are you happy with your decision? Those who did 2.5" any issues w/ride quality or clearance? Would you make the same decision now?

Thanks for the help!

 

I did 1.75. It is technically an inch lower in the front than the back, but it looks level. 2.5 in the front looks nose high to me.

 

I want to do 1.75 on mine with a TSB or aal. Maybe this thread will help you? http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/210416-billie-install-tomorrow-front-85-1-75-a-3.html

 

couldnt you do the eibach springs with the front billies set at .85? then you would have about what you need to make up the rake.

 

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.

I'm not looking to buy anything more than what I have in my hands right now. That & I'm eating lunch now then out to the garage to swap out 5100's x4. Just looking for some last minute input to confirm that I'm making the right choice.

 

Great info! I didn't really take into account that level by measurement might not actually look level. This helps me feel like 1.75" is indeed the right choice. Thanks!

 

Oh ok didn't realize you already had your parts lined up . Good luck with the install! Good day to do it here in Colorado

 

Sure is. Damn near perfect. My last weekday before I start my full time job on Monday (first time working for someone else in about a dozen years) so I'm gonna get this install knocked out & a few more things so I can enjoy the weekend since I got all my yard work done this morning. I excite! /Borat
