    Okay after owning my 2013 trd off road for a year i think it needs a little more clearance between the 265-75-r16 tires and wheel well so it dont look so full, only added options are a leer camper shell, so after reading through the post it seems my best bet might be to go with the 5100's all around. Im planning on maybe a 2" add a leaf in rear since i put the topper on it for a little more in the rear, i might get a avid off road artic bar for the front, so do i need to just go with the 5100's in front set at around 2" or add the 885 ome coils and let them do the 2.5 lifting, trying to keep it simple with no worries about wear, and do i need to get spacer for driver side for taco lean, i really dont notice any on stock suspension. I think right now im 21 1/2" from center of wheel to wheel well in rear since i added the topper and 20 1/2" in the front

    I'm 5100 lifted with a 2"aal and have a shell on most of the time, sorry I don't have a picture right now, but I sit almost dead level front and back with my 5100's in the back with 2" aal the shell on and 5100's in the front set to zero with 887 coils and a 1/4" aluminium top hat spacer.

    If you haven't yet shoot Marie a PM here at @HeadStrong Off-Road for your lift parts, great prices great service and great jerky. :D

    I would suggest a progressive AAL pack in the back at the very least. I had a 2" AAL, towed a 24' pontoon boat once and the rear sagged like a motherf*cker when unloaded and zero weifht in the back.

    If you tow ANY weight, I suggest a custom leaf pack by Deaver or Alcan or Dakars.

    Well, I'm not sure I've heard that reasoning before. I mean most folks want bigger tires to start with to fill out the wheel wells.

    It's ok. Not saying you're wrong. Just different.

    Just checked currently I have 3/4 a tank of gas and no topper on but I do have full rock sliders and steel skids, sitting 22 3/4 each side front and 23 1/2 in the rear both sides even.

    Get the 1.5” progressive pack and add half inch flat shims to get your full 2” wheelers sells them. You’ll hate the single AAL... ask me how I know...

    Well one main reason is i want the rear lifted some since it settled out when input the topper on so i figured i might as well get the front lift a couple of inches also, figured a little distance between the wheel wells might look better the 265's fill them up pretty good

    Well i guess ill drag out the lifetime engine and power train warranty and make sure i dont see nothing in the fine print and probably go ahead and order my rear bilisteins 5100 and add a leafs then see how it sits and decide whether to get the 5100's and 884 or 855 for the front, really dont want to fool with uca,s or have to worry about drive line issues, might be best to just go with the 5100 on front adjusted close to 2" and just use the stock coils, i think the 885 is like 2.5 borderline on the uca's
