2015 Tacoma 2" Leveling Lift Kit Question

The truck looks pretty level to me as is.

 

I guess what I'm trying to say is would a 2" spacer make it that level with the 1" block in the rear. From what I've read a 2" spacer up front will make the truck level so if you put a 1" block in the rear wouldn't that make the front a bit lower?

 

1.5" spacer up front will yield 3" up front

.5" spacer up front will yield 1" up front

 

^ what Chad said. The rule of thumb for a spacer up front is to double the thickness to get your gain. This is due to the spacer putting added compression on the coil and acts like a preload.

 

I did 5100s set at 1.75 and then lean spacer on the driver side. 1” blocks and 5100s in the rear.
Rides better than stock

 

Please explain the lean spacer as I think the 5100 up front and a AAL in back will get me what I want. The 5100 is adjustable, correct?

 

Tacomas have their gas tank mounted on the Driver side of the vehicle. This added weight causes a noticeable lean when you upgrade your front coils. The factory coils take this into account so if you are just installing the 5100s and plan on adjusting them with the factory coil you will NOT need the lean spacer.

5100s are only adjustable up front. The rears are not adjustable.

 

They are talking about the infamous "taco lean" that you see when you lift your truck. The spacer is used on the leaning side to make it level. And yes the 5100's are adjustable for the front.

 

Not true.

The factory coils are side specific to account for this, but there is still a lean in factory form. I have factory coils, and have the spacer on the driver's side, and it's now pretty much dead even on both sides. Driver's side is still a hair lower, even with the spacer. Not enough to notice visually though.

 

What is the best single 1" AAL? I think the 5100 w/Coils and AAL is what I need.

 

Thank you so much @ChadsPride you ROCK!

If there is anything that we can help you out with @Michael_Westen feel free to pm me

 

Thank you Sir

 

I saw this truck in another thread but there was no info on it but would really love to know if this truck is lifted and what possible size tires are on those 16" rims? I think I'm set on these OEM TRD black rims but not sure if they are 267/75 or 285/75 and if they are the 285/75 I would think you would need a lift in front and back to level it out.

 

Would a lift be required to put 265/75R16's on a '15 Tacoma?

 

No sir.

 

I think I'm now leaning with the 265/75R16 Nitto M/T's on Toyota TRD Fj Alloy Silver Wheels. Depending on the look I might add a 1" - 1.5" lift all around later.

 

Nice choice. I'm partial to the gunmetal ones though. Also have you checked out any of the SCS wheels?

 

This is what's on the truck I'm looking at buying right now. Which do you think looks better these or the Silver TRD Fj Alloy?

or

 

I believe those (the single wheel pic) are the FJ Trail Team wheels (the ones on the truck are 3rd gen TRD Offroad wheels (I believe)). If they had those (Trail Teams) in 17", they would be on my truck now. I was real close to getting those. Love the style. I think they go well with the body lines of the truck.

 

They do have Gen 3 Wheels! You should be able to sell those fairly easy!
