Smallest Leveling Kit

Is that 1.75 setting?

 

The front came out a little bit higher but I think it looks good. Primo 95 thanks for all of the advise.

 

Yeah

 

That's a good looking height. Billies are definitely gonna be my next purchase. I already ordered em once cuz the site said they were in stock. Then 2 days later I got an email saying they've been back ordered and might have them by August. So I said screw it

 

You bro raking?

 

Looks great, always like to help out a fellow member owner that wants to do things right. What do you think of the ride?

On the front height.....I may have a quick $100 solution. My set just arrived, and I plan on installing over the holiday weekend. It is going to lift the rear by the thickest of at least 1 leaf spring..and depending on how much you tighten it...it can lift it slightly more.

Question for you. Those Coopers are load range E. What PSI are you running...did your Tacoma right rougher/stiffer than your stock tires?

 

Thanks let me know how those springs work out. I'm not for sure what PSI there running I haven't checked them since they have been installed. They run about the same as stock except a little louder on the road. But that don't bother me it's better than being stuck in mud. As far as the truck riding with the 5100 Way better than the stock ones.

 

Primo 95 I'm running 41psi in mine coopers and there not any stiffer than the stock tires.

 

So I got the Hellwig helpers installed, really nice product. Excellent workmanship (made in USA). These are designed for someone that carries a heavy load often, carries a medium load all the time, trailers a lot, or someone like me, that carries an occasional heavy load and doesn't want to experience Tacoma leaf spring sag.

I am still trying to find the sweet spot on them....I had them tighten down a lot when I first installed, and the rear end was noticeably stiffer. I drove over my usual Rail Road tracks that always make me hit my bump stops...and they did not hit. It raised the rear about 1"
So I loosened them up and rear was back to "stock feel" (and height), but now I hit the bump stops on the RR tracks. So I am still tightening a little each day, trying to find the spot where it isn't stiff and I don't hit my bump stops. But even the Stiffness isn't that bad...I am just picky.
Overall very happy with them...just waiting to carry something heavy...but nothing planned in the immediate future.

 

Cool I was looking on Toytec.com today and they 1/2 inch spacers for the rear springs. I was thinking of going that route to bring my rear end up a tad but not for sure if it throw anything off or screw anything up in the long run.

 

So about how much higher is the front now? I'm thinking about getting the 5100's but can't decide on the .85 or 1.75 setting. How you like the Cooper SST's?

 

About a 1/4 inch I'm thinking about just leaving it the way it is . As for the coopers there perfect for what I use them for and look bad ass to. But I don't use my truck as a daily driver either if I drove it everyday on a long drive to and from work I would go more with a A/T tire

 

Can your eye really see the 1/4"? My truck has a 1.5" rake so if I do go with the 5100s I might try the .8 setting first.

 

Holy cow 1.5 rake why so much.

 

Drivers side is 22" in the rear and 20.5" in the front. Passengers side is 22" rear and 21" front. Measuring from the middle of the center cap to the fender. Guess I have the taco lean.

 

Yeah my bad that's what mine was roughly. It was a long Monday after a 3 day weekend.

 

As for my truck I can see it. It's one of those things were i think it's more of a 1/4 inch and less than a 1/2 of inch. So I think I'm just going to leave it. My wife's on me for nerf bars now.

 

LoL. Think my plan is to get 17" rims and 265/70/17 tires and see what happens (rubbing, etc). Then maybe do a small level. Anyone else make a 3/4"-1" level?
