    Hi all.
    Long time lurker first time poster. I have an 02 Crewcab TRD 4x4.
    I bought Bilstein5100's in all 4 corners and have a fabtech AAL 1.5inch for the rear. This truck is my DD but I drive on gravel/bush roads 50+km up mountain roads.

    My Question:
    Should I adjust my Height Adj Billies 1.25 or the 2.5inch? Any pics of the exact setup, concerns with using the 2.5inch setting and the 1.5inch AAL in the back? Love it or hate it? should I use the 1.25inch setting have a better ride but have 2.25inch rake down?

    Thanks
    Rippin!

    Depending on what coils just stay on the 1st perch. If you have stock coils, 1.25 inch setting would be best.

    I've never used them on a 1st gen, but from what I've read, TRD coils on the top setting are a pretty rough ride since they are progressive rate springs. I have a set of these on my 4th gen runner at the 3rd notch but with linear rate MOOG springs and they ride great.
