    Thanks in advance for your input......

    I have a 2013 TRD Off-Road AC. Leer 100r and custom rack are on the way. I am interested in doing a small lift and leveling kit, but have no plans for bigger wheels and tires in the near future. 5100's seem like a great option. Thoughts? Considering weight from the cap and rack, as well as seasonal boat hauling, are additional leaf springs necessary as well? My goals are to enhance the ride and a subtle enhancement to the look ie small lift and level stance.

    Fire away!!!!

    I'm a spring chicken around here but leveling kits aren't recommended for trucks used for towing as the rake facilitates a flat driving stance when there's something hitched up.

    I would not level it if you are going to put any kind of load in the bed or tow. You might go 2" on the front and change out the rear springs or a AAL. Form what I have read the AALs do not help much with weight. I added Hellwig 550s but really need to go to some heavier springs. For now I am going to stick with stock and the Hellwigs. You could go air bags. I do not like them because I would be adjusting them too often.
