Does anyone have a pic of there tacoma with:

Some kind of leveling kit, with nothing done to the rear. Something like, adjustable front shocks or 2" spacers, with 265/70-17s?

 

Bilstein 5100 shocks in the front are adjustable and will help level out your truck.

 

becareful using 265 70 17 i have a 3" lift and i do have a rubbing when backing up and turning right slot uses same tire no lift and rubs at certain points but dont remember where he said it rubbed hope this helps

 

with bilstien 5100 you can turn it to adjust high or low hard to explain kinda of like a big nut that you turn

just grabbed htis quick not sure what all it says about bilstien 5100 but may help

 

not sure if rears adjust or not as far as tires not real sure just know my 265x70x17 do rub a hair

 

I have no lift yet and my 265/70/17's rub only when truning hard left and hitting a bump, like a driveway or something. I've never gotten any rubbing while four wheeling and I cant see where the rubbing is so it must not be too bad. But I have 1/4 inch spacers behind my wheels to help clear the upper control arm otherwise it would rub there.

 

Here's a link on TN for the Bilstein 5100 shocks and people's experience with them.

Ok, so far this is what discided that I plan putting Bilstein Height Adjustable Front shocks, I don't think that there the 5100's, there at . The site says that it can be adjusted up to 2 1/2".

Does anyone know exactly how much the front has to be lifted to be leveled?

So, anyway, eventhough I lift the front are the 265/70-17's still going to rub? I don't think the rear would rub anywhere?

If I put a 1" block lift on the rear and then lift level the front, should I have any problems?

 

i have a 3" skyjacker lift came with a add a leaf for the rear i only rub a hair in reverse turning right so at 2 " u might have to put in a spacer like slot but not sure

 

Do you have a pic of your truck?

 

here is a pic only one i have right now

 

Thanks alot that's exactly what I want mine to look. Where did you get your lift?

 

4wheelonline.com no tax and at time was free shipping 416.00 that is with upgraded shocks for rear

 

Hey Bayou -

I think if you want to level your truck out, you will need about a 2-2.5" lift in the front. I have the 3.5" adjustable Donahoe coilovers in the front and its a bit taller in the front than the back, and i think i only have mine cranked up about 2" of the 3.5 possible. You have a 4X4 though so im not sure if they are exactly comparable. Also, alot of guys with a 3" lift run 285X70 OR 75's - i think. good luck buddy, and when you get it done post some pics!

I just got my 5100's today! I finally decided what i am going to be doing with my truck.

I don't know what I should go with to level the truck yet, 2" or 2.5". Depends what looks better with 285/60-18's.

I bought a 1" rear block spacer incase I discide to use it with the 2.5".

Also a diff drop from toytec lifts.

 

Thats what im doing- setting the 5100's (when i get them) to 2.5" and getting either a 1" or a 1.5" block for the rear.

I will be running BF A/Ts 265/75-16s prolly.

I will also go ahead and put the diff drop, axle shims and carrier bearing drop kit.

I am figuring this is gonna run be about $1350-$1400 respectively with the most expensive thing being my tires at $759 installed.
