5100s ..885s ... 3 leaf aal.. on 265s pics or thoughts please

I have a 2009 tacoma 4x4 trd sport with 48xxx miles and just purchased the following

5100s all four corners
Ome 885s
Wheelers three leaf aal pack on tsb leads

She's my daily driver but want to be able to go 4x4n with the guys

Anyone out here have pictures with this set up? Waiting for delivery doing a home install in Alexandria VA anyone available to help?

 

I have 884/5100s with wheelers progressive aal going on soon. Tire setup: 265/75r16s. This setup should net me around 2in all around and i intend on keeping the overload leaf(TSB 4leaf pk) in to achieve the factory rake look. Your setup should be level if you keep the overload in.

Check this thread out, lots of great examples on 265s.

Check my build

 

5100/885 with a 2" aal in the rear on 265/70r17 general grabber AT2s. Wheels are Level 8 MK6

 

If mine looks half as good I'll be happy!

 

Thanks! Also I just noticed you're in alexandria! I'm in silver spring, MD and am only like 30 min away. I love helping out other members, and have installed 7-8 lifts now. When are you going to do it? I keep pretty much all my tools in my truck so it's no big deal.

 

Love to rifle pic with the truck she's a beaut

 

Thanks dude! Appreciate that!

 

I plan on doing the install either April 7th or anytime during the week before the 7th. Is there anything 8 can help out with you can use an extra hand on?

 

What are you using for spring compressor? I bought this type and it’s a BEAST. $110 on Amazon. 8milelake is the brand!

 

I'm not working on the 7th, so unless I've made other plans I've forgotten about, I'm down to help! And no, you're good! I don't need help with anything that I can think of at the moment.

 

Ok awesome I have a garage with most needed tools (any extra tools would be helpful) at the very least I can fill your tank or meet you at your garage

 

I got the basic spring compressor nothing like that!

 

Don't worry about it man! A few bucks for gas would be nice but not necessary. Like I said I have all my tools in my truck anyways, so we'll be covered.

Are your 5100/885 assembled already?

 

Not yet but have spring compressors and new hardware I may have them prepped before the 7th since I won't need anything off the stock setup

 

If you don't, no worries. I use another method where you have a jack under the LCA and decompress the spring that way. Super easy and safe, and have done it on about 10 coils now.

I've seen this techinique after hours of research was tempted to try it myself but thought might as well get the tool since It's cheap enough. Thanks for the prompt responses love the community support excited to get it installed

 

Yeah after doing this method as well as the cheap spring compressor method, the LCA way is the way to go! Plus then we can take out your alignment bolts and cover them in anti seize. They're known to rust together and are very expensive to fix. Some easy preventative maintenance that adds maybe 15 minutes

 

Trucks like your makes me want a shell.. u fortunately I ride motocross so using the bed is important
