2nd Gen Lift Details

Looking to lift my 2010 DCLB TRD Sport. I want to go with a Bilstein 5100 kit and have been looking at the kit from for 3 inches all around.

Will I need the Differential Drop Kit?
The Front Top Plate Spacers?
Will The the single Toytec AAL give me a full 2.5" - 3" in the rear?
Will I need need longer U bolts?

Thanks

 

1) Diff Drop = NO
2) Most people use the top plate spacer on the Driver's Side to correct the lean.
3) No even the ICON, Wheeler's, Headstrong Off Road 3 Leaf progressive AAL will only give you 1.5 with the overload out, or 2 inches with the overload in.
4) Yes and no depending on what you go with. Talk to Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road she'll set you straight and always Free Shipping unlike Toytec and Wheelers.

 

I did the 5100 kit + 885s from Headstrong with the ICON 3-leaf in the back (overload in) and used the new u-bolts and hardware it came with. Had it on for about a year with no issues. Most kits come with the drivers side spacer to correct taco lean so should be good there. Won't need a diff drop kit unless you go bigger than 3"/get the vibrations from what I recall (anyone feel free to correct me on this).

Another vote for @HeadStrong Off-Road , Marie and team are fantastic.
