    I was wondering if anyone has pics of a 2012 TRD Sport w/Upgrade Package DCLB that has the 4 leafs already (think they come with it anyway) with 5100's set too 2.50 and stock rear.

    Anyone done this and what is/was the experience like?

    the 4 leaf (tsb) pack is garbage

    I believe it will either sit level or the front will be ~1inch higher

    Too many to list. See build page. Link in signature
    It will sit high. Mine is 09' but same exact suspension still. I have the 4 leaf tsb pack and my fronts are set to 1.75" and its perfectly level. Keep in mind all my stuff is settled already. It looks higher when its brand new. But anyways, if you do 2.5 then your front will be about 1/2" - 3/4" higher than the rear. Both options look good though. Click my signature pic for my build and more pics. I am using the stock TRD Sport coils and 5100's all the way around. It rides amazingly smooth by the way! Way better than Stock. You'll love it

    I was thinking of just doing the front and seeing how it looked afterward and if it looked nose high (which would be slight) then just doing a 1"- 1.5" block in the rear. ???

    Here is my truck with TSB springs and 5100's at 2.5....

    It sits just a smidge higher in the front but for the most part is level. Every truck is not going to be exactly the same so maybe take some measurements and make your decision. BTW blocks are pooh pooh.

    I put blocks in the rear of my '09 (with billy's up front) and the blocks made it ride horribly. Don't do it.
