    check downsouthmotorsports for the 5100's, he gives deals to forum members, go with the uca with the uniball, much better and do you really need the ome springs. i would cut out the toytec best seller and get the better uca. my .002

    Thx, will check... in regards to the coilover that was my question. Will I even see any improved ride/performance from a new OME spring? But then I would still need to get the rear Add-a-leaf...

    i dont you would see enough too spend more money on new springs unless your truck had like 100,000 miles on it which i am sure it does not. aal is cheap so save money on the best seller get the aal for 80 bucks and then you have the diff for the better uca

    ok dont mean to thread jack but i just want to clarify since i am leaning towards the same setup.
    ok so i have a 2010 regcab prerunner and i want to level it out, what setting is best. also another option was to lift it completely, i was thinking to add an aal in the rear.

    if i do the 5100 and aal combo what should i should i set it to and what aal should i get? hopes this makes sense

    you can get the aal from toytec, maybe 1.5" lift for the rear and 5100's at 2.5 for the front. Do you have the tsb springs

    tsbs are 4 packs right? i have a 3 pack. and i dont think it will qualify for the tsb since its practically brand new.

    so that setup would be somewhat level? plus or minus half inch or so right?
    any pics with this exact setup without tsb

    tsb is a 4 pack correct. i no a few people that have 2010's and have gotten the tsb, you can try.

    here is a link with a picture of a taco with tsb leaf's and 5100's set .85
