    After 160k on my 2010 TRD. Im going to replace the stock front struts with 5100s.
    Ive noticed there are three different settings to change the lift on the struts.
    I would like a little more lift without effecting the ride. should I leave it on the stock setting, or can I go a little higher without messing the geometry all up?
    Thanks in advance. I know all your time is valuable.

    ^^^^^ This and if you want to level the truck this will be suitable. If you want to lift your truck use lift coils and a rear AAL or leaf pack.

    What rear springs do you have (stock two leaf with overload or three leaf with overload), how much rake do you currently have, do you want it level or a slight rake and are you looking to only change shocks?
