    Currently I own a 2008 DCSB TRD Rugged Trails Pre-Runner with the pro comp 3 inch lift. So far I love the lift, I've had no issues with it as it has been 99% driven on the road. However I would like to add more height to my truck, 2 inches would be the goal. My question is by getting the 5100s and adjusting then to the highest setting, how much more lift would I be getting roughly? I realize the pro computer gets a lot of hate on here but for my interests it is the most cost effective for me. Appreciate any feedback from you guys

    The max setting is 1.75 inches for the billies. But with my procomp i recieved about 3.5 inches of lift instead of 3 inches. Iwas also running 285/65/18

    I have the same tires as well. I still have the stock shocks so my question was by setting the billies at .85 or the max setting would I be getting the lift I have now plus what the billies give me?

    Is the procomp a top plate spacer and did they include front shocks with the kit? If they came with shocks you might wanna see if they are the same travel as stock and if so I would say yes to the billies and you would get .85" 1.75" or 2.5" but not recommended.
    You may need new UCA's if you don't already have them to get the alignment correct.

    You're not going to be able to add 2 more inches of lift to what you have. You'll need a whole new kit. I'd research the 6" kits if you really want that much more lift. If you're a pre-runner you could do a spindle lift which gets you about a 4" lift. I guess you could add the dreaded body lift but most people say not to do more than 1" if you do go that route.
