    Ok sorry. I just want to throw this out there and get as many responses as possible. I have the 5100 Bilsteins in my possession and was going to have them put on (front and rear) and set to 1.75" in the front (with an alignment).
    I have a 2009 double cab prerunner and I'm worried the rear is going to be too low unless I get the 3 leaf progressive AAL (from wheelers) and install that too.
    Thoughts?
    Ride quality, wear and tire, level, etc.

    Set at .85 unless you are ok with the rear an inch lower than the front or put a AAL or 1" block in the rear. Ride quality will be 100% better w/ 5100's, shouldnt affect tire wear w an alignment done correctly. Will be closer to level at .85

    canadian tacoma's come with the rear leaf tsb and with my billies set at 1.75 it sits pretty much level. it rides considerably better too :thumbsup:

    For a level stance with the front at 1.75, you will most likely need to lift the rear some as well. The 3 leaf is a great choice. Provides very good ride.

    Welp. I ordered the Wheelers lift 3 leaf 1.5" progressive AAL to go with my 4 5100 Bilsteins. 1.5" up front will give me just a slight rake with this set up according to Wheelers rep, which is the look I'm going for.
