Leveling question SR5 Double Cab Longbed with the tsb leaf pack

Ok. Thanks to all you guys and Tacoma World I made a few calls and drove the truck down and qualified for the tsb leaf pack in my 2010 Double Cab Long Bed SR5. So now I'm psyched on the added hight in the rear that will give me.

I ordered my Billy's from wheelers to go all around, but now I don't know what to set the front at! My original rake was about an 1.5" higher in the back... now it'll be a little higher after the tsb.

I'm having the dealer put the 5100s on while they're putting in the tab and I need to come to a front setting decision by next week. I'm trying to get it level. I'm running 265's so I don't want to high of a lift plus I'm not doing any AAL's on the back, just the tab pack and bilsteins. Any thoughts?

-If I set the 5100's at 1.75 I'll still have a rake and if I set them at 2.5 the ride will be stiff and there's the possibility of Bro-Lean.

- 885's might bring it up just as high

-Don't know what 884's will do on a DC LB?

 

From what I have researched, I am planning on using the ome 884 springs with 5100's set at 0. This should give right at 2" of lift in front, which should be perfect for the tsb 4 leaf rear springs. According to my measurements, I am 2" higher in the rear with the factory 4 leaf rear springs on my truck. I don't have this installed on my truck yet, but have everything ordered.

If you are not wanting to order new springs, I would go with the 1.75 setting on the 5100's and it would probably be so close to level that you wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't without measuring.

 

Thanks Brian thats what I'm hoping, that you won't notice much. Springs are probably the way to go, I wish I just ordered them to begin with. Put up a pic when you get your done...

 

I have eibach springs (1.6 inches of lift) on my stock billys and my truck has a slight rack. I have the tsb springs in the back also.

 

If you want just 5100's with OEM springs have them set it at 1.75, that should bring truck level. If you want better ride get OME 884's and set 5100's at 0. If you plan on putting a aftermarket bumper on, go with 885's.

Don't set the 5100's to more than 1.75 with OEM springs or more than 0 with OME 884's or 885's springs, if you set them higher you wont be able to get alignment within specs without aftermarket upper control arms.

 

Good info. thx

 

FWIW, you can use 883 coils for the 2nd Gens also. They'll give you a similar lift to the Eibach coils on a double cab (around 1.5" of lift). 883, 884 and 885 coils are all spun from the same coil meaning they have the same spring rate. As the numbers go up, they get progressively taller in 10mm incriments (about 1/2"). If you go with 885's, I'd recommend an aftermarket UCA for alignment purposes.

To level a Tacoma with a TSB rear end, I'd look into either 883 coils, Eibach coils or stock coils with 5100's set to 1.75. The difference between the 883's and the Eibachs is the spring rate. 883's are a softer coil (still stiffer than stock though).
