    I have a 2007 TRD O/R 4x4. I'm not quite sure what the TSB leaf pack is all about or if it even applies to my truck.. What I want to do is put the 5100's on all four corners with the fronts set at 1.75" and a 1.5" AAL in the back. Is the 1.5" AAL in the back correct or should I go with the 2"? I want the truck to look level, no noticeable bro lean or rake. I was planning on getting all the parts from Toytec. Also what are thoughts on the diff drop? Is it better to get it just to be safe or no point in buying it?

    Any help/advice is appreciated!

    1. Do you have a 3 or 4 leaf pack? 3=non-tsb, 4=yes
    2. Depending on your answer to 1. 3=2", 4=1.5" Even with 1.5" your truck will have a little rake when with 5100s set at 1.75"
    3. Buy 5100s from Downsouth Motorsport. They're cheaper and great customer service.
    4. No need for diff drop. Does nothing to 2nd gen.
    5. No point.

    My suspension is completely stock so I'm assuming I have a 3 leaf pack?

    Your suspension can be completely stock and have a TSB leaf pack.

    I have never taken it to the stealership to have the TSB pack put on. Would the 1.5" AAL still work even if I have the 3 leaf pack? Since the back is a little higher to begin with I would assume it would be close to level with 1.75" Bilsteins in the front and 1.5" AAL in the back

    Usually, people will lift the front at 1.75" and call it a day. I believe you will be a tad nose high with that set up. I am not sure about 1.5" AAL on a non tsb pack. It will work, but I don't know the overall lift you'll achieve.

    Edit: I noticed you have an offroad edition. With that being said, your ride will be a little stiffer due to your coils (offroad edition have progressive coils) vs a SR5 and Sport Edition.
