    I would have done a more aggressive lift if I didn`t tow an A-frame trailer (2700lbs). Tacoma`s look great lifted!

    3&1 leveling kit (actually 2.5&1) with AAL. XD757 17X8 Spy wheels with 4.5 BS. 285/75/17 BFG KO2s
    Went to 4wheel parts Redondo Beach. $3K out the door for 3&1 leveling kit with AALs, tires, wheels, lugs and labor. Still have a slight rake comparable to factory. Sat level with original tires in bed.

    Yes as the tire size is basically two whole sizes bigger so that is what bumps up the back end.

    But wouldn't this also bump up the front an equal amount? Is your truck level? It's hard to tel from the picture. My understanding was that with the 1.75 setting on the fronts an aal or block is needed to bring the back up to level. .85 is supposed to give a level stance with the factory rear. The rear Billy's don't add any height right?

    I was curious as to how difficult it was to install. Ive read that you may have to trim and such for the diff drop. if you even added the diff drop with it only being 1.5" level.

    Yes I was running the stock shock in that picture, since then I have switched to the Bilstein 5160 rear shock which is a great shock for the money, same stock height as well. The only rubbing I get is when turning while articulating the front tire. It tends to rub mildly on that fender flare, no big deal though. Hope this helps!
