5100 question

A few questions. With the stock suspension, what setting on the 5100 would bring the truck to a level setup? Also, how much of a difference in rear height is there with the leaf spring tsb installed? I'm looking to level my truck and get a little bigger tires 265/70-17. I appreciate any advice you, the experts, can provide.

 

with the rear tsb springs installed........it depends really, but you can prolly get 1.5 to 2 inches from them, but they will settle some. on the 1.75 setting on the 5100's, you'll be good and level, if you have the tsb springs. on the stock springs......either the .85 setting,or the one right up from it..

 

I just had the TSB done on Tuesday and it raised the rear 1.5 inches but I expect it to settle a little. On Friday I installed 5100's all round and set the front at 1.75. After install I measured and it was almost level. Front left was 1/2 inch lower (Tacoma lean) and front right was 1/4 inch. The ride is a little firmer which is what I wanted, I thought the stock ride was a little soft and when I had a load in the back or was towing the back bottomed out. Hope this helps!

Appreciate the info. Now I just have to hassle with the stealers to get the TSB installed.

 

Had the rear spring tsb done and 5100's installed at 2.5

 

Do you have any vibs at all?

 

^^By the way your truck is bad ass if I do say so myself

 

yep those addicts look nice on there!

 

No vibes but I do feel the bumps more. I don't mind though, it feels more like a truck then it did before.

 

Oh nice.... Did you put in anything else like new coils, shims, diff drop, cb bracket, or uca's or anything like that? Its all stock? That is the setup I'm looking to go with thats why the 20 q's .....HAHA! Sorry

 

Thanks. Everything else is stock. I might do new UCA's in the future but as of right now I haven't seen the need for them.
