Leveled 2nd gen

I’m looking to level out my white 2011 Tacoma and was wondering if anyone could provide before and after pics so I know if it is worth it. Thank you!

 

Its definitely worth it
Before

 

My truck is on the left. Had 2.5" up front, 1" aal and 33" tires. Truck on the right was stock. Old pic, sorry for quality.

 

Worth it in my opinion. I opted for Bilstein 5100's set at 2.5" in the front. I've also got 32" tires. Sorry no before pictures.

 

Forgot a picture.

 

Toytec 2" coil spring lift...leveled out beautifully.

 

Check this guys @aahowk423 write up. Very nice work.

How is the ride? I’m going with the same for my mine - 2” coil spacer and I’m doing a 1” block in rear. I want to keep a slight rake because I tow a boat.

 

I previously upgraded from the Toytec 2" spacers. I had the spacers on for 11 years, ride is better with the 5100s but they do also cost more. I actually still have the around spacers laying around.

 

Like a truck...really, it leveled out the truck and the ride is not stock but it is by no means uncomfortable. Just a tad stiffer which is a tradeoff with lifts. The one I added increases the preload on the spring, hence, the lift...BUT extends the shock the same, so if you want to go "air born" I would recommend limiting straps. As for me...I'm to damn old for youngsters fun...been there, had fun, got the trophies....just cruizin' semi stock.

 

From my experience:

OME 884's with Bilstein 5100's up front should level you our without doing anything to the rear.

OME 885's will Bilstein 5100's up front and an AAL or 1" block should get you close to level. Word of advice, however, this is when you'll want to start considering aftermarket UCA's which run $500+ for a good set.

If you tow and worry about sagging and want to do things on a budget, I'd opt for the 885s with an AAL. The stock leafs are considered trash by many and will sag with 500lbs in the bed.

It's all about budget and use. I started with Bilstein 5100's all around and stock springs. Then went 884's with GeneralSpringKC hd leafs. Then 885's. Next week I'm putting on 887's. Moral is, once you lift, you want to go higher... which is more costly.

2 cents...

Btw, I have the 884's and 885's for sale. $100 + shipping.
