    New Tacoma owner and first post. Sorry it has to be about 5100s. I have read probably hundreds of posts regarding 5100s and can’t seem to find the answer to my simple question. Each time I think I got it, I realize that poster had a Prerunner, or an earlier model with the TSB leaf fix or added blocks to the rear. I have a completely stock 2014 V6 4x4 and if it matters the rear leaf springs are three leaves with a fourth helper. As soon as they arrive, I am installing 5100s all the way around. Is there a consensus about what setting to use on the front to level it out? The closest I have found is the 1.75" setting. Then someone would post that they used the same front setting and it was nose high but they don’t say what else on the truck may have been different. Any other info I need to provide to determine?

    The 1.75” setting?

    Thanks

    Leave the shocks at the lowest setting and buy lift springs. Toytec has 1.5” eibach springs
