Reno and surrounding areas: Official spotted, BS, and meets thread

I have some 1.5" blocks for the rear if you want them.

 

I'm free the 4th!

 

From the thousands of post on here I believe no body likes blocks.

The 5100's will lift the front depending on what spring you use and what setting for the clip placement on the bottom the strut. If you use your stock spring and 5100 set the clips on the bottom setting you shouldn't see much of an increase in height. If you use the 5100 I would probably take out the spacers and just get a better spring.

I did 887/5100 on bottom setting for 2.5 ". The rear a Dakar pack instead of blocks which gave me a 3".

 

Just do an AAL in the rear and the 5100's to match your front. AAL is only around $100 and better than running blocks, though a small (1") block isnt terrible, it will contribute to axle wrap in the soft stuff though

 

could i just add a leaf in the rear and still use my factory shocks. Thats what im looking to do. I rather just keep stoxk shocks for now. Not looking to spend lots of cash. I just didnt know my front would sit so high. I woulnt be agaisnt the 5100s and add a leaf its not to much, but rather 1inch block or aal if i can just use stock shocks.

 

Yeah you can run an AAL and leave everything else as it is now.

 

cool. thats what i will do then. how hard to put in the leaf? I did the front spacers my self. I will order one today when I get home. i will do a little research see what works best. this will make me happy. nice small lift on stock shocks. I will upgrade to 5100s all around perhaps next year, for now I like to just rock what I got.

 

Stock shocks are going to ride pretty shitty with the rear raised up. They'll be topping out off bumps a lot. $.02

 

well add a leaf with 5100s then. i rather it be legit than hack. i will do just the rear and leave front stock for awhile. they just called and my alignment is done. I should have just did 5100s all around to begin with. 80 for aligment again if i go to 5100s in the front. I should known but o well. i paid 45 bucks for spacers.

 

Alright let's do this Sunday the 4th! Maybe like @la0d0g said, do a trail to a destination then eat/bbq/drink burrrs?

 

Well when I got my truck today I dnt know what it was but it doesnt look as high in front now the alignment has done. I dnt know if I am just adjusted to the look or what. I think I will hold off on the rear lift. The wife is due for a purchase so i have to keep her happy lol. I need skids and tires so I think I can live with the look. I will measure again she how high the front is compared to the back, my spacers where only 1.5 inches I think. They said it translate to 2 inch lift. Thanks for all the good info though. I still might do the 5100s with a add a leaf for the rear tho. I am trying to safe money this year, but I will see how much the roof top tent sags the rear, it might make me push for the rear lift. I can def come out for a bbq on sunday. I was going to go to dog valley on saturday, I can go sunday and bring some burgers or something. If we all chip in we have plenty of food. Who has a grill because I dnt.

 

So is there a set trail plan/meeting spot and time yet? Sounds like we're down for a Sunday-funday run with you guys in Brittony's 4runner. Still need to re-do my rear suspension in my 4th gen so it's out for now

 

deng it, I'm trying to get sunday off but I got laughed at. I need to find someone to trade shifts with. lol.

 

dang sry dude. I love my weekends off. I work a lot of hours during the week but have weekends of till fall, then I work 6 days a week.

 

Sunday trail run with a Q somewhere along the trail. What trail, meeting spot, and time TBD. Dog valley to loyalton was a suggestion since there is the park at the end where we could lunch it. Not sure on the amount of snow back there but I bet its passable now. Down for whatever really though, just a suggestion.

 

Unlike

 

I also have a shitty camp grill and small table. I would be happy to bring. It only has a 2 burner stove top.

 

I have a small BBQ I can tote along.
