    Hello Lift question here
    I currently have a 2006 tacoma 4x4 crew sb. I bought it with the bilstein 5100 already installed and set to the first circlip. It was a little bro lean so I added a 1 inch block and now were level …. Witch leads me to my question for you guys with experience

    now I want to run 285 or 305s

    Im going to adjust the clips to the top notch to give me a possible 2.5 in according to google in the front.. Ive ordered 2 in blocks to level

    anyone running the top clip on the bilstien 5100 ? And what size block in the rear? To be level or a little bit of rake ?? I want to run blocks Until I upgrade

    This is to start. Ill probably go Icon stage 2 with leaf springs in the future once I get some taco experience

    thanks in advance


    Pete

    I would wait and just leave your current lift until you can upgrade. Stock Leafs with a 2-inch lift block will most likely lead to drivetrain vibrations.

    I ran toytec add a leafs in the leaf springs before I upgraded to the OME dakars. They are much better than blocks. Since you’re running stock coils up front, you should be level.
