Help! Billies at .85 or 1.75 for LEVEL?? '13 Sport DCLB 4X4

dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

 

Some say .85.
I did 1.75 and nothing in rear. With 265/70/17s. It sat like this. Not the greatest pic but hope it helps

Do you have the 3 or 4 leaf rear springs?

I have an '05 with 5100's set @ .85. with the original 3 leaf pack. and it sits almost level, with just a slight rake.



From everything I've read, it should sit level with 5100's set @ 1.75, and the 4 leaf pack.

I have a new set in the box right now with coils installed set to 1.75, waiting for my frame swap. (Dealer will be installing the new 4 leaf pack.)

Edit: with your truck being a DCLB, the extra length/weight may be a factor.

 

I have the 4 leaf rears

 

Hey op, here's my old 2005 DCLB with 265/70/17 with billies at .85 and 4 leaf rears

 

Mines a 2013 sport dclb. This is with 1.75" in front and 1" in the rear. About 150lbs of tools and material in the bed. As you can see it sits close to level, just a slight rake with weight in the bed.

Without any weight in the bed it has a slightly bigger rake.

 

Measure it before the install...simple?

 

That's too easy

 

Measure before to confirm YOUR needs.

GENERALLY..

4 leaf rear set to 1.75
3 leaf set to .85

 

just freaking measure... its not that hard.

please dont go bro lean.

 

That's what I thought but with all the conflicting info on the boards I guess well see. Worst case I'll ad an inch in the rear.

 

So regardless I should get the toyotech 1\4 spacer for driver side?

 

Thanks, good luck with the frame

 

its not conflicting info just different springs for different years / configs.... different spring sag etc.

so break out the measuring tape and go from there.

Personally id raise the front and rear the same amount to keep rake, but i like my truck with some rake and not be all sagged with some load in the back.

 

I did .85" on mine('14 TRD Access cab), because after measuring, 1.75" put me too close to "dead level" & I didn't want a "sag" as soon as I put anything in the bed. And this is with the 4-leaf pack. I just wanted it to look "right" with my 265/75/16's...

 

Keep in mind also the .85, 1.75 and 2.5 inch numbers are general estimates. You could get more and you could get less.

 

it was spot on on my DCSB TRD OR @ 1.75
