    Plus or minus. I know that the front end is just getting lower and lower with trip. Saggy front in time need new coilovers. Just another frikn expense.

    hey i was wondering if your goin to lift the front 2 in. with the 5100's on a 6 in. lift how would you lift the rear end? because i wanted to lift my truck the same way but only 1 more inch and i cant figure out how much i should lift the rear

    Honestly just save a little with tax returns and order a set of Alcans for 6 inches of lift. You wont regret it at ALL. its about 660 shipped to Hawaii. Mine is set up for an extra 250 to 300 lbs for my fishing, hunting and/or camping stuff. You should be fine on the 1.75 setting but depending of condition of your coils it may be drop front so maybe the 2.5 setting will work.

    Other than that double the aal or a 4 inch block for cheap.

    I as well have a Fabtech 6" with BFG 35's and don't rub as well daily driving. I think the issue most people have with rubbing depends on their wheel back spacing. BTW, body lifts on the 05+ trucks are absolutely pointless...

    Body lifts work yes... on the older gen Toyotas, not the 05+... yes they'll lift your truck more, however, if your tire rubs on the frame/body mount, please explain to me how lifting the body 1-3 inches changes the location of the frame mount where the tire rubs. It doesn't. Those are the facts. The only options you have are to 1) change the wheel back spacing. 2) Narrower tires. 3) larger suspension lift or 4) cut the frame narrowing that mount. Personally, I wouldn't touch the frame. If you want a lifted truck with 35s, do a 6" lift. Don't run a wheel wider that 10" with a 4.5" back spacing and pick your usual 35x12.50 tire. I run the BFG MTs and they've been great. They'll rub on hard off camber angles but how often do you see those in everyday daily driving. Just depends what your trying to accomplish...

    exactly my point.....the look is what im going for...didnt spend over 20k on a truck to tear it up....hunt,fish, and drive......a little bit of trim on the cab mount still saves about $1500 and fits the same tire as a 6" suspension lift

    You also didn't spend over 20K on a truck just to cheap out on the accessories did you? Save up for something a bit more reliable IMO. In the end, it's your truck!

    It's actually spelled "site", like website, not "sight". Unless of course you are refering to your eyesight? Maybe thats the problem with this site, too many peolple get worked up over nothing and forget how to talk?

    So I have been running 33's on TRD wheels and the OME 3" lift and find it pretty useless. Also would like some better articulation so I am not always like this.

    So tell me best lift and wheels to get so I can run 35's even if there is a little rub. Anyone doing sway bar disconnect?
