Stock vs 1" vs 1.5" lift pics

Here is mine with about 1" front and 3/4" rear lift. 265/75/16's. I think the skids make it look a lot lower then it is.

 

That's what I am going to do, but wanted to increase load capacity a little without sacrificing ride

 

If I were in your shoes, I'd think about a progressive AAL like the HeadStrong and then remove one of the leafs to reduce the lift.... might take some trial and error to get your desired lift. On my 2000 Tacoma, I did this with some rear leafs from a Dodge Dakota(junk yard) rear leaf springs and I've been very happy with the results. I can't bring myself to put junk yard springs on my brand new truck though.

 

Take a look at Pro pics for 22+. Those are 1.5"F and 0.5"R lift.

 

2020 with a Westcott Designs 1.5" front and 1" rear, stock 265/75/16 tire size.

 

Looks great! How is the ride compared to stock?

 

I use a Roadmaster Active Suspension which is a coil spring pack that bolts to the leaf pack. Gives about 2" of rear lift and REALLY helps for towing. I have a 5100 lbs TT. And I think it rides smoother with the Roadmaster. DCLB.

 

That looks great. Are the tires stock or are they 265/75r16? Stock would be 265/70r16.

I also just noticed that your truck is a TRD Pro. So this lift provides an extra 1.5/1" lift? If so then to clarify, your truck has a 2.5"/1.5" lift when compared to a Sport or OffRoad, right?

 

I can't tell a difference.

 

The tires are 265/75/16
Yes the Westcott Designs adds 1.5" in the front and a 1" rear lift to the TRD PRO lift on it from the factory. So yes when compared to the Sport or Offroad.

 

1.5”/1” here. TRD shocks with Low Range OffRoad tapered blocks. Wanted to keep some of the factory rake. The rear blocks are actually closer to 1.25”. 265/70/17 on 17x8.5.

 

Looks great, what a difference. How does it ride compared to stock?

 

Here is mine with the TRD lift.

 

Nice improvement over stock. I didn’t mind the stock setup, but these are definitely an upgrade.

 

i ended up with a very similar setup after not being happy with the single aal. im pretty happy with how my truck sits around 1.5 / 1.5. I think its a good slight modification without going full bore

 

That's good to hear. I appreciate hearing that.

 

Anyone have opinions on the TRD lift vs 5100s and an AAL?

I really like the idea of the lift being warrantied all around. (the lift itself and if anything goes wrong because of the lift.) I understand that this isn’t the best lift for the price itself, but the peace of mind is a very big factor. I am also really wanting to keep this truck mostly stock this time (HA! But I do have my ‘99 4Runner to mod out, so that will keep me at bay). So having this installed from the get-go will help the mod itch. I also really like having rake (the back sitting visibly higher than the front). I also really want the TRD grill, so that being included is a positive factor, too.

Thoughts? Thank you.

 

TRD lift is overpriced but you get the warranty, 5100 + AAL is your best bang for the buck for a suspension lift

 

Overpriced as lift parts alone, 100%, but coming with the warranty peace of mind (and the TRD grille) it balances out, I think.
