Gen 3 long bed Off Road with 5100 fronts

Hey All!
I've ditched the idea of the Supreme 2 inch front spacers for 5100s for my 2019 cav blue trd off road crew cab long bed. My mechanic is going to install the 5100s this week on the factory coils. I'm also going with 1.5 inch Supreme blocks in the rear. I don't off road, haul a bunch beyond occasional Costco or Home Depot runs, or tow so I'm not really interested in the AAL right now. He'll also be proactively installing the ECGS clamshell bearing and driver side 1/4 inch Supreme taco lean spacer. The local Toyota dealership mechanics recently told me to not do a diff drop under 2 inches. So the diff drop will be returned along with the spacers. Tires will come later in the year (most likely a 265/75/r16 on the blacked out factory TRD off road wheels).

My questions is to those that have this set up, what setting did you do for a slight rake with the lift in the back (contemplating the 1.1 or 1.55 inch rings) and are their lifts true to the settings? Meaning would a 2 inch spacer lift look the same as a 2 inch 5100 lift? I read that a long bed taco owner complained that his 5100s were set for the 4th ring (1.55) and ended up with over 2 inches in a stock coil...

If you could post pics of your long beds with either 1.1 or 1.55 on level ground to show for reference would be greatly appreciated as well! Even better without the tires being over 265/75's would be ideal.Thank you all so much for your time and input. Have a blessed day!

 

This is how it's sitting now, pre-lift. Symmetrical all the way around with a full tank of gas and me not in it...

 

I initially had the 5100 set to the 4th notch I believe I got 1.55 of front lift with a 1” block in the rear. It’s wasn’t exactly leveled. I wish I measured it but I would say I still had some rake from the rear being higher in the front. I didn’t like the set up so I went back to 0” on the 5100 and added the ome 885 to do the lift. Imo it was just way to stiff, this current set up is also kind of stiff. Hoped that helped

 

Btw how did you truck ride with the supreme lift on it

 

Friday morning I get the 5100s installed. They'll be set at 1.55 and 1.5 inch tapered rear blocks. I can't wait!

 

Awesome bro!! It’s exciting to work and mod our trucks. Love the feeling. Enjoy and post pics of course.

 

Thanks bro! You guys have been great! I'm getting a little worried though that the 1.5 in the rear might look a little high in the back on stock wheels and tires. I can't find find too many pics like what I'm going for...

 

It will look great a little rake is good for when you load it. You will be good

 

Thanks man. I'll post pics as soon as I get it home Friday night!

 

I have 5100s front and rear with front on 4th notch. No Block, leaf or anything in the rear. TRD Pro wheels, 265/75R/16 Falken Wildpeak AT3. Has slight rake in the front and may go with 1 inch block. The truck rides,steers,turns just the same as stock, no rubbing what so ever. The tires have slightly more road noise but that was expected. I did so much research on TW, and am thankful for all the info provided on tires, wheels, and shocks. I don’t do any serious off-roading intentionally. Moved to the Eastern Sierra Nevada (Plumas County) couple of years ago, so we have snow in the winter, and lots of places to explore off road, year round. I waited for stock Goodyears to wear out then changed to current setup. I got 52k out of the Wranglers! Overall I am more than pleased with the new setup, and am sure you will be too.

 

68Z28 - Looks great! I thought for sure you'd be nose high, but it sure looks good as it sits. : )

 

Since you are using the factory coils I’m not sure if you should use a spacer for the drivers front. Spacers are normally used to keep it level when using an aftermarket coil like OME. I’ll let someone else chime in if they would like, but I don’t think you need that 1/4” spacer because you don’t have a lean to fix…. Unless you somehow already do lol. Have fun!!

 

SnuggleTruck- I'm sitting half an inch lower on the front driver's side fender vs. passenger side on my last measurements. The curse of the lean... :-/

 

Crazy. Mines stock right now and it sits dead even.

 

Might not be too helpful but here goes

Top: Stock OR Suspension on 265/70/17
Bottom: Eibach coils on second notch and 1.5 inch block in the rear, drivers side also has the spacer for the lean.

Seems dead even to me with half a tank

 

Looks great

 

Looks awesome!!!!

 

5100s on the 4th perch, needle bearing replaced with ECGS clam shell bushing, 1/4 inch shim for the lean and a one inch block, front diff and a rear carrier drop, which were needed to put the angles back in spec, no vibrations, no issues, factory oem coils, tires are 265/70/17 Toyo open country at2. Ride is amazing and it has a slight take.

MDS08 - I'm doing the ECGS clamshell and 1/4 lean spacer as well, but no diff drop or carrier since my Toyota dealership do not recommend either of these on a lift 2 inches or under. I'm pretty much doing everything else on stock wheels and tires.

 

I would suggest you let them measure the angles once it's done. You may find that doing it will make everything smoother and no vibrations. You can always remove them o if not needed or add them if you need them. My angles are more in line with the factory specs. I had a highly reputable off road shop do mine as well as several other people use them. I would listen to them over the dealership but thats just me. Good luck.
