    My 2016 Tacoma is running 2.5 ext travel icons in the front. I just added a deaver leaf pack and need to raise my front end. I have nearly a 3” rake right now. I’m running a dual battery, skids, and sliders. No bumper but possibly in the future.

    Coilover preload is at: 1”
    Front measurements (center hub to fender): driver 21”, passenger 21.25”

    Rear measurements: 24.5”

    I’m near stock height. I’d like to get the front end up to 23”

    Should I increase preload (not much to go until I hit max preload)? Or go with a new spring(650# currently installed)?

    If new spring, icon or king?

    Thanks in advance!

    New spring-up in rate. You could also remove some leaf's in the rear. We can't help with that without at least a video thru the woops.
