    Just called the Toyota Dealer for install and there price was cheaper then the local garage. Who would ever thought that. They did say they are being competitive with local garages to keep you bring your vehicle back to them.

    If you run the spacer, you will have to run the strut at the 0"inches of lift position.
    You can not combine the two.

    I just had my bilstein's put on 1.75" on front and I have the TSB rear 4 leaf. The front is a little high, should I put 1" blocks in the rear. I don't want to add a leaf too make it to stiff. I don't want to lower the fronts to .85, it will cost another $ 320.00. What do you think?


    If I do the blocks do I have to put longer break linings


    I have a 2013 DC LB TRD Sport

    I would check to make sure the extended length is going to work and if so, then yes a block is a option.
    You will have to check the brake line when checking the shock length.

    The rear shock is the 5100 good from 0-1.5. I would only be putting in a 1" block since I'm only 3/4" low.

    I'm thinking about putting a 1.5 icon add a leaf in the rear would 5100 3-4 inch rear shock be ok or would another shock be better

    it depends on if you have the tsb or non tsb pack.

    I bought the 2" 5100 rear shocks and the bushings for the top mount are way too thick...I don't think it's the right bushing set..it only came with two washers, two thick bushings, a top nut and plastic piece that looks like it goes around the rod...any advice?
