    I first want to say thank you to all of you on this forum for helping me!

    So here we go.
    I just recently ordered 5100's ( not installed yet ). I am looking at XD Monster 18X9 with a -12 offset and a 4.53 BS. The tiers and Toyo Open Country MT 275/65r18.

    I don't plan on doing any off road driving.

    The questions are....
    1. I want the truck to sit level. So by running these wheels and tires do I set the 5100's at 1.75 and leave the back stock or do I set the 5100's at 2.5 and do a AAL / block?

    2. After the truck is lifted, do any of you see any issues with this wheel and tire combo. I have seen others on this site stating they can fit this size on stock, but i think they at AT tires. I am prepared for minor cutting just no CMC!

    Even should be 0.85 and no AAL or 1.75 with AAL/TSB

    You might have to trim and remove the mudflaps but should clear the cab mount. Not a guarantee tho

    If i go with the 1.75 in the front, will a 1" block in the back make the truck still sit level? This way i get a little more lift on the truck. I have not seen a 1" AAL. Ideas are welcome.

    Personally id steer clear of a block. The tacoma leaf springs are already pretty shitty and a block would just make it worse

    This completely depends on which rear springs your truck has and how worn they are.

    Assuming they're not worn at all.
    2+1 rear leafs with 5100s set at .85, truck will sit close to level.
    3+1 rear leafs with 5100s set at 1.75, truck will sit close to level.

    Mine is 3+1 rear leaf plus 1" block with 5100s set at 1.75 and mine has a rake. Originally had no rear lift and truck sat level with 5100s set at 1.75.
