Bilstein 5100 question

sport has 4, offroad has 3...........not 100% sure on the SR5

how many do u have?

 

Should look into.. Wont be done unless your bed sags tho

 

I have Off Road and Towing Packages on mine, I looked today, and it looks like I have 3.

 

I would suggest to get that done or look into it more before ur 36000 mile and 3 year package runs out heard from Taco owners its hard to get Toyota to get it replace after that fact. i havent replace mine (49901 miles) it does sag a bit when i have passengers in the back seats but havent tested when i have a load in the bed included yet. I am going to add AAL when i get my lift done hopefully soon. Good Luck

Add on leaf write up http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/suspension/31118-how-install-add-leaf-w-pics.html Good to know.

 

This might be a stupid question BUT...Do the 2012/13 Tacoma's need a .85 or a 1.75 lift in the front to level out?

How does one tell if their Tacoma has the TSB?

 

Count the leafs in the rear. Be sure to include the over load leaf. 3 is no TSB, 4 is TSB.

 

Lol thanks SB.. guess you didn't understand that this was a joke..

 

Thanks! I have 4 so I guess I'm doing a 1.75" lift up front.

 

What really might sound stupid is i dont know what TSB or AAL means.

 

TSB is kind of like a recall. The TSB leaf pack is a stronger pack that Toyota will install if you can prove you have problems with the non-TSB pack.

AAL stands for Add A Leaf. You just a leaf to leaf pack to make it stronger and/or taller.

 

The only stupid question is the one that went unasked.

TSB = Technical Service Bulletin - There is one out on the rear leaf springs bottoming out with a load in the bed, if your dealer agrees you have this problem, they will replace your rear leaf springs with heavier duty ones. Do a search for more info.

AAL = Add A Leaf, a common add on to add height/carrying capacity.
