3rd Gen Lifting Advice

Sweet man! I appreciate the info. Looks like I'll just be going the 5100 with stock spring route for now until I can save enough for a stage II Icon lift.

I appreciate all the help dudes

 

Top pic is 265/70/17 bottom is 285/70/17

 

So I have decided on 5100's for the front of my '17 TRD Sport. That being said, I cannot decide on .85 or next highest setting. I would like to achieve perfect level, or slight rake still to the front. I know for a fact I do not want nose high even the slightest bit. By the tape the front is exactly 1" lower than the back. Thanks in advance.

 

Lift?

 

Are you using 2nd or 3rd gen 5100s, each have different settings allowing for different heights between the two type.

 

I was unaware that was an option. I had just assumed the 3rd gen.

 

This thread gives you the differences between them.

Nice thx for posting, looks like the bottom pic has a lift.

 

Pretty sure he's lifted with cmc otherwise he would rub like living hell on 285s

 

cmc?

 

cmc = cab mount chop

Hey another beginner on lifting tacos, I got a 2/1 spacer and block lift in my 17’ trd sport and would like to slowly piece together a 3” suspension lift, curious if I get a 3” leaf pack for the rear and 3” coil overs in the front with the Ucas will my ride be level or ride high in the rear

 

You wont need much to run 275/70/17
Heres mine stock suspension with spidertrax wheel spacers. Run like this for 2 years and after 3" lift

 

Not trying to hijack this thread but didn't figure I should open a new one. If I am just trying to level the front on 2018 TRD Sport what size spacer should I be looking to get?

 

a 1/2'' spacer up front should bring you close to level.. it will give you about 1'' of lift. and I recommend the 1/2'' spacer from @HeadStrong Off-Road

 

Go with a 1” spacer. That’ll be spot on. The rear is 1” higher than the front.

 

Better late than never right? Haha thanks man! Already got that done and dealt with. Currently just chilling the truck until I my wallet starts to itch in my pocket too much for lift.

 

Just noticed september 2017 lol
You def accomplished the more aggressive look. I went 2 years till my wallet could handle more. You go 275?

 

Haha all good. I’ll probably wait until I hit 50k miles which is when my warranty expires (currently For now it’ll be small cosmetic things such a tinting my windows, headlight upgrade or some RTT. And yes it’s sitting on 275/70/17 tires. They sit about 1/8” outside the fender well which is okay for now. Waiting for SCS to drop some -38MM offset wheels to have them stick out a little more.

 

what did you end up doing? 1/2 in spacer from headstrong or another route?
truck looks good with 275's
