Rear Leaf TSB

tarik88 · Nov 26, 2007

hey guys i went to the dealer today and complained saying that my truck was bottoming out when i loaded it up so the tech takes it for a test drive and comes back, next thing i know is i am getting just a new rear leaf pack since i have the trd sport. Now my question is i know the truck is going to sit 1" inch higher in the back so i want to get a leveling kit but will i be able to fit 285/75/17 on there after the tsb is done w/the leveling kit.thanks in advance

i think u'd need a 6" kit to run those 34's. u could fit the 285/70/17's under there w/ the rear tsb and a 2.5" level kit. u'd have to do some trimming in the front even w/ just the 33's under there.

sounds good..but which lift kit would you recommend and will a 2.5 make it even or will the front still be raked?...i want my truck to be level...also can i fit the 33" on the trd sport rim which is a 17"...?

i'd go either fabtech or toytec...and if u get the reat tsb done and a 2.5" front level, it will be pretty well leveled....maybe a tiny bit taller in the front...and as far as the tires, everything i'm seeing on the net says that u'll need a minimum of an 8" wide rim to support a 285 width...if u could find a 265/75/17, then i think u'd be ok on the rims size for sure

EDIT: i plan on going w/ a 265/70 on my sport rims in the spring

try a search.. lots of info here. in case you cant find it. i suggest bilstein 5100's up front. as for a 33 inch wheel on your stock rims. nope
