2 inch lift

5100s with eibach 620# springs. It was about 2 1/2” but after everything is settled with armor it’s about 2 1/8”- 2 1/4” over stock. So I just call it 2”

 

Looks great, just did mine, any problems going down the highway? Now that they're open and catching wind. I ordered all new clips before I'm taking it down highway

 

Hi Carson,
It is really better to have the spring lift your truck so you do not stress your shocks and you get better life span from your shocks.
If you have 5100's set and 0 and say OME 885's on your 2013 you should get 2" in the front and it will ride great on and off road. No dipping when braking and little if no roll from side to side
when turning. Put add a leafs in the back with 5100's and your good to go. I purchased my set up from headstrong offroad and Marie knows her stuff. https://www.headstrongoffroad.com/store/p250/Old_Man_Emu_Lift_Coils_-__Various_Lift_Heights_Available_(PAIR).html

 

Not yet but I can tell they’re a bit loose

 

Damn. Another guy on the site had to bolt his on because of that

 

Best you can do is gonna be bilstein 5100 front and rear with an icon AAL. Along with that you’re gonna want new Upper control arms, I did freedom off-road and love them. You’re also gonna want to get new coil springs for the bilstein shocks. I went with the OME 2” 885’s. Then the last thing you’re gonna need is differential drop kit. That should give you the best bang for buck 2” lift you can get.

 

Old thread revival, you go! Diff drops aren't needed on 2nd gens.

 

Had a Toyota mechanic told me I did, Are you sure about that?

 

It was a widely discussed topic on TW years ago. General consensus is that it does not provide benefits on a 2nd gen. I've lifted a bunch of these trucks and offroad with a whole lot more and no one runs them. No issues. I'll see if I can find the old thread where it was discussed.

Edit. This is a good read:
