    I decided to do a 3" lift on my 2011 2WD DC Prerunner. I've read many threads on the different setups available and decided to go with this:

    Bilsteins 5100's - F(Set @ .85)/B
    Eibach Lift Coils - Front
    AAL - Back
    LR UCA's
    285/70/17

    I have 2 questions.

    1. To fix the "taco lean" and reach 3" lift, which spacer setup should I run?

    a. Driver - Toytec Top Plate 1/4" Spacer (TP14)
    OR
    b. Driver - Toytec Top Plate Spacer (TOP1-T)
    Passenger - Toytec Top Plate 1/4" Spacer (TP14)
    OR
    c. Driver & Passenger - Toytec Top Plate Spacer Kit (TOP1-T)

    There were many mix reviews and setups people were using since every truck is different, which is why I'm confused on which spacer setup to run.

    2. Because my truck is a 2011 and out of warranty, I did not do the TSB springs in the rear. Therefore, I need a 2" AAL in the rear right?

    I did my research on this forums, and I just wanted direct advice. Thanks

    I would just opt for the 1/4" spacer for the DS. Like you said, every truck is different and most likely this should help the taco lean. It sure won't make it worse! I wouldn't say you "need" the 2" AAL in the rear. However, if you want the truck to sit close to level, then I would go with the 2" AAL! :)

    The only reason why I'd avoid just using the 1/4" spacer on the DS is bc this would only give approx. 2.5" lift (1.6 from the coil and .85 from the shocks). The spacer is to help gain the extra 0.5".

    In my sig
    Check my sig for my setup. Its almost identicle to what you are looking at. The downside is that the LR uca will contact the springs on driver side because the amount of droop.
