Leveling Kit vs. Suspension Lift?

Ok so I have a 06 SR5 that has a stock tire size of 245/75/16. I would like to be able to run 33's as cheaply as possible without doing a body lift. What are my options? What do you think will work the best?

 

There's many, MANY threads on this topic. It helps to look around before making a thread

The cheapest way to level the truck is to get some 5100's from downsouth and set the front struts to 2.5 inches. The 5100's are adjustable by adding pre-load to the stock coils to lift the front.

They have a tacomaworld discount code that lowers the price as well.

 

im in the same boat but ive read somewhere you need to add upper control arms with the 5100s which is why i havent made a move on some

 

You do not NEED to replace UCA's. Caster will be a little off but nothing major and doesn't cause tire wear anyway. Mine is fine.

 

It's generally accepted that any lift below 3" is safe to have without new UCAs- the billy's lift the front 2.5...

I run 5100's with eibach coils, which gave me 3.4 inches of lift at first- runs fine now even without new UCAs.
(though they help)

 

Message toytec or Down south Motorsports on a set of 4 blisten 5100's. Fronts are adjustable 0-2.5" however if you order eibach springs the spring rate lifts you to a 3" in the front with the 5100's set at .85 aka the second c-clip setting. Rear you can just get blocks. Or a 2" AAL from toytec.

 

I did talk to downsouth and we came up with 5100s and OME coils, he told me to measure from frame to ground to see if I needed 884 or 885 coils but I checked under the truck to measure and there's about 6 feet of the frame that'sthe same height so now im stuck with the next road block, sorry to borrow ur thread

 

On a TRD Sport your probably going to want 885's...if that's what you're asking.

---884--- 2" lift standard coils - add top plate spacers for full 3" lift

---885--- Medium 2" lift coils for 110 lbs additional front weight

Do you intend to run a spacer or not?

 

What size top plate spacer do I need for the driver's side with front and rear billys, eibcachs, and AAL?

 

Nevermind I figured it out....just ordered all those parts and I am pretty excited!
