    I have little faith in the shop that did my 5100's due to events ...

    Now I'm all , ahem, enjoying some holiday beverages looking at other tacomas set at 1.75" and thinking mine is lower lol

    Please tell me I'm insane and to go to bed.

    Crawl up under it and see which groove the ring is in should be 2 grooves for the ring to go in under it if its at 1.75

    The perch is covering the lower grooves, but there is one above and that's all ...

    Your supposed to be in the third one up so your good.

    If your doubting the shop did it write get an inspection mirror and look up under the perch. It could be covering.the slots to.

    Looks good at where it's set. I wouldn't change it unless you have rubbing issues.

    looks 1.75 ish to me

    Its hard to tell, for a while I questioned myself on my install until I parked next to a stock tacoma, then its really noticeable.



    Also my truck measured level but looked nose high until I added the 1" rear blocks. And I had 4 leafs in rear but maybe its cause im a LB ?

    Ya I hear the AC's are higher in the back.

    It's been too wet outside to crawl under my truck to check the rings but there is only one setting above the perch so I'm pretty sure this is 1.75"...

    My pics prolly don't do it justice
