If I use 5100's and a 265/75/16 tire, will I get rub?

    Thanks for posting those pics Viper, i couldnt tell in the first one but the second pic is obvious. i wonder if our truck differences will make a difference in what setting we use. 1.75 may be fine for you but you have to remember my V6 is gonna weigh more than your I4. plus, i have a 4 door and 4x4 and a short bed instead or regular. Even though we are using identical shocks, our trucks are completely different as far as weight distribution. i wonder if that will make our "identical" suspension look different. Rick swears that he used 5100's at 2.5 with the tsb and his truck is completely level. i dont know though,all i said about the weight and suspension was just speculation. I'll try to post some pics of my truck tonight. the back end is alot higher than the front after the tsb, i really dont want to lift it any more.

    ND, I put the lift on the back yesterday. It is awesome...Leveled it out and for some reason the ride is wayyy better. My seating position is higher and more forward. I didn't know it would make this kind of a difference. It was a great day to Drive a Toyota Tacoma.:)

    Hey VIPER,,,,did you ever get the info about how to adjust your lights? In case you haven't, it's super easy to do. Facing the front of your truck, look down behind the headlight housing, close to the fender at the bottom there is a nut with a geared looking flange made onto it. It's silver in color and has teeth on it like a gear. Mark the top of that with a Sharpie, then make one revolution with the nut, each revolution will move your lights up or down one inch. Park your truck in front of a wall or garage door on flat ground, about 10 feet from the wall. You will see if you are going the right way as you adjust.
