    Hello forum,
    I just had my Bilsteins installed 2 days ago. I have the front @.85 and I have a Helwig 1.5" AAL. Today, I was given a 1" steel leaf spring block kit with u-bolts, washers, & nuts (NEVER USED & FREE). One of my customers gave it to me because he no longer owns the Tacoma that he bought it for. Should I install this and get more rake or leave it as it is now with only a slight rake? Also, will 1 more inch cause driveline vibes?

    Stock height with the LT265/75r16:

    After lift kit:

    Just saw the 2nd picture. I say leave it as is. I'd prefer leafs over blocks any day anyways.

    Yes. It is installed in the 2nd pic. It doesn't look like much but I did take accurate before and after measurements and it's 1.5"s
