    Thanks for the corrections and sorry to have posted misleading info above. Once my front B-5100s arrive (backordered at Wheeler's) I'll take before and after shots and measurements and post them, so others can benefit. This has been an informative thread for me.

    If you need longer studs for the spacer install Toyota has them for 2.80 each. I think I have the part number if you need it, just have to dig it out...

    I am holding off on my billies - maybe purchase and put them on next winter. I'm getting them for all 4 corners and plan to set the front at 1.5". I have the leaf tsb done already.

    I like having the option of going up to 2.5" and getting an AAL for the rear. If I did that, I then need to research the diff drop...do I need one? I'm not sure what is involved with the drop but I don't want to get into it. I also don't want to replace UCA's.


    FYI...you can sell your TRD billies on eBay and recoup a bit of your cost for the 5100's.
