Anyone else have this much of a factory rake? Also, leveling options.

My truck is stock and the rear is 2.5" higher than the front (measured directly up the center of the hub to the fender). Anyone else have this much?

From everything I've read on here, I know you don't necessarily lift the front as much as the front-rear difference to achieve a level stance. With my measurements, how much should I lift the front to sit close to level, and how would you recommend doing so?

My truck: 2010 prerunner, trd off road, access cab, 3 leaf pack, 34k miles.

 

Did you just buy the truck?

Doesn't sound like it has the stock springs. That's highly unusual that the stock springs are 2.5" higher than the front. Are they new springs?

 

No, I bought it new in October 2009.

 

Anyone?

 

Nope almost everyone here has bro lean from crappy stock leafs haha

Edit: going off your measurements all you have to do is lift the front 2.5...

This would be incredibly easy to accomplish. You can get bilstein 5100s and set them at 2.5 It will rather stiff though. Or you can get a toytec lift for 2.5.

OR if you wanna be fancy most quality coilovers (fox, king, icon, sway-a-way) come preset at 2.5.

The good thing about keeping your lift under 2.5 is you don't need new UCAs to correct allignment

 

LOL, I definitely don't want to end up with bro lean. I want to be careful not to lift the front too much.

Thanks for the reply. I will check out those options.

 

I'd do 5100s up front at 1.75 with stock coils and call it a day.

 

This is what I would do in your situation as well.

 

That's exactly what I was expecting to hear, haha

 

Where are you measuring from. Almost positive you are not measuring right.

 

It makes the most sense IMO. $200 will get it done, minus alignment.

 

I'm kinda curious if he somehow has a 4 leaf pack.

 

I went out and measured again, from the top of the rim center cap straight up to the fender. I'm getting around 2 1/4" difference.

And definitely a 3-leaf pack, not 4.

 

Crazy. What are your actual measurements?

 

If I remember correctly, passenger side was front 18.5" and rear 20.75". Driver side was similar, but 1/4" lower on both (I think).

 

I think your front is a bit low and your rear is normal.

 

Even with my lift set at 2.5 in front my rake is still 2" in difference front to back. I kind of like it and because I threw in a AAL on both sides in the rear I can see why it is as much rake as it is. My rear is at 2.25" BTW.

 

I think I'm going to go with 5100s set at 1.75". I'll post pics and measurements when it's done.

What's the best place to buy from?

 

I think this is the cheapest place.... not positive though

 

Wheelers is great. Highly recommend. Check with Marie at Headstrong Offroad also!
