    I have a 2021 Tacoma Pro. I've added a Decked drawer system (plus gear in the drawers) and a Snug Top cap which has added about 450+ lbs to the rear. I've ordered and received OME rear, heavy duty leaf springs for the rear. They are rated at 660+ constant load and are stated to lift the rear 2.75".

    What front end lift should I install in order to have a slight front downward rake due to some additional rear load and some trailering? I'm thinking 1 1/2".......

    Why not 5100s? For the money you really can't get much better.

    He has the Fox pro suspension, not going to down grade to 5100's. Just need to change spring out.

    Yes, my 2021 Tacoma Pro has Fox suspension on it from the factory. I'm thinking some type of front strut spacer and how tall of a spacer can I put in without changing control arms, etc. and still have a slight downward front rake?

    Unloaded or with what you have added?

    Suggest waiting till the rear is done, and a bit of time to settle, before deciding what's needed on the front.

    You don't have struts BTW, you have a coil-over-shock like every other Tacoma.

    An option would be a bit stronger spring to create your lift, rather than a spacer.

    The rear OME heavy duty springs are rated for 660 constant load. I've got the Decked drawer system (240 lbs per Decked), Equip/gear in Decked drawers (100 lbs), and a Snug Top cap (200 lbs) which totals 540 lbs which stay on the truck.

    As na8rboy and Clearwater Bill suggest, I'll look into a bit stronger spring for the coil over shocks.

    Also, I have a good friend who knows Jeff Westcott. I'll try to see what he says.....I understand Jeff is a bit busy right now with their SEMA Builds.

    Thanks everyone and keep the ideas coming.

    Like a couple others noted the main go-to options for the front coilovers on TRD Pros that keep the Fox shocks are either the Wescott preload collar or longer Eibach spring, both of which are superior to a spacer lift only and function more or less the same. I have the Wescott option on my 2020 Pro and have been very happy with how it performs both on road and offroad thus far.
