    Thanks for the membership. I am somewhat new to Tacoma's. I have been a Jeep guy for years. I bought my 2020 new and drove for almost a year before I decided that I like it enough to keep. I started moding the 3rd gen a few months ago. Just lifted 2 weeks ago and that has not gone well. Went with 5100's front/rear. My add a leafs in the rear went great with a 1.5 lift. The front, not so good. Bought unproven front 2.5 springs and only got 1.0 lift. Going to swap them for OME 2887's. Have a mild vibration at 30mph that does not go away when in 4wd. Waiting to trouble shoot further until I get the new front springs installed. By the way, got screwed by Extreme Terrain on the springs. Wish I found this forum sooner. Need to re-order from a reputable company. Enough about me.

    With the weak front springs I bought I actually increased the rake because I added 1.5 to the rear. I don't want to do anything about the vib until I get the front where it needs to be and the truck is almost level.

    Also the OME springs are lifting springs. So you’ll want to keep the 5100s at the lowest perch setting with them

    Exactly, that is why I chose them. I do not want to preload my struts.
