    No lift on the rear. The 5100s at 1.75" leveled out with the stock 13' factory leaf packs. Works great.

    Rims are holding up great. Still look new as expected. FlyFish, click my sig for details.

    I installed the 5100s myself. Very easy. Just need a lift and a tiny bit of patience. A coil compressor is a plus. One can be rented from most auto parts stores.

    Looks great. What are your castor specs? I have 265/75-16 Duratracs and I am rubbing on my front mud flaps when turning. I can take the wheel spacers out and I'm fine. I noticed your still running mud flaps so I'm wondering how you keep from rubbing. Thanks!

    I dont rub on the mud flaps. Did rub on the mini flaps at the front of the wheel well. Removed them. 2 bolts each. No rub even at full turn. Just had it aligned.

    Stock... For now.
    I just bought a set of, from your description, the same 1.5" spacers but I'm getting some wobble in my steering wheel when I go over 50mph... Any suggestions on how to fix that?

    Thats tough to diagnose.... its possible you have a bad spacer or they arent tightened down all the way. Be very careful. I would assume its something different but like I said, there are many variables that lead to wobble.

    Perfect Tacoma, man. Nicely done. Soon as I sell my 1st gen, I'm getting a 2012+ DCSB. Hope I can find a Spruce low miles...
