    Hey guys. Currently I am running bilstein 5100s all the way around with the fronts set at .85 and 265/75/16s ko2s

    I'm thinking I might want to raise the front to like 1.5 to 2 inches and maybe 1 inch in the back, I don't want to go up in size to 33s, so I don't want the lift to be too large for my wheel setup. I was thinking maybe new coils in the front coupled with the 5100s and maybe AAL in the back. Any suggestions?

    Thanks! (here's a pic of how it sits now)

    What do you have out back? AAL? Full leaf pack? Maybe post a side pic to better see the front and rear heights

    Looks pretty damn nice right now man. So 5100s all around with stock coils up front? An AAL will give you the 1" you want in the back for sure. Are you going for a leveled look or trying to maintain some rake?

    Yeah sometimes I look at it and think, looks pretty dang good, but then other times I think, the front end could use a little lift.

    I love the look of the 2015 trd pro, I think it has a tiny bit of rake but almost level. That's kind of what I'm trying to replicate

    If I recall correctly, the 2015 TRD Pro has a 1.5" lift up front. It's nice, but I personally am going higher (2.5-2.75" up front and 3" in the rear). I got Dakar's on the way with OME 885x coils and 5100s. Zeroing in on an install date soon

    I used to have 18s, I switched to 16s because I like the more rubbery look.

    Yes. Left at factory settings. Rides like butter. Stock UCA's. Icon 2.0 and Dakar in the rear.

    Leave it alone, that truck looks perfect to me. Trd pro would sit the same I would think. I gained 1.5" with my Bilsteins set to 0.85". Your trucks results look similar to mine.

    Side note, I test drove the same truck brand new in 2012, but went with a full size. Spruce mica looks so good in the sun! Too bad Toyota dropped it.

    One thing to remember about AAL is they usually make the ride stiffer if you're not carrying any weight. As much as I'm hesitant to say it, if you're not off-roading it hard and you're happy with the current ride quality a set of rear blocks will work for the average user or if you can only afford the front springs at the moment. :bananadead:
