    I've read the millions of posts on here about economy lifts and leveling kits and just would like a second opinion to make sure I'm not missing anything before I order the parts.

    So for my DBL CAB LB 4x4 with a mid rise camper shell I'm sitting between 1/2in to an inch high in the rear with rear NO TSB. Thinking about getting the 1 1/2in AAL in the rear from wheelers ($77) and a pair of Bilstein 5100's up front and setting them at 1.75in and being done with it. Any thoughts? I expect a firmer ride but not overly harsh... let me know if I'm missing anything

    Thanks

    I have a 2013 double cab short bed trd off road and wondering the same thing.

    I'm thinking 5100s front and rear.

    Front set at 1.75

    Rear AAL 1.5

    Im wondering it this will work and ride good? Or should i buy springs too.

    I have mine set at 1.75, Bilstien rears, and the Toytec TSB AAL. ive put 20K+- miles and the rear is still a little higher than the front.

    Sorry those are the only newer pics..and cant remember if the AAL was 1 inch or 1.5.

    I feel like the ride is better and "tighter", but I wouldn't call it stiff. Also when I did the AAL, I had to buy new shocks for the rear so I went ahead and got the bilstien rears..the stock shock wasn't long enough for the down travel when I flexed. It would make a loud bang, so I put the new ones on and haven't had a bit of trouble since.

    One more thing I also got the Old Man Emu carrier bearing drop kit. At slow speeds after lifting i could feel a slight vibration so the CB drop went on it doesn't do it as bad.
