Pics of 2nd Gen. with 5100's Set at 1.75 with stock rear

New to the site, curious as to how my truck would look if I did Bilsteins 5100's set at 1.75" and a stock rear with 265/75/R16 BFG AT KM2's. Will it sit level ? If not, what are options to make it level without spending a ton of cash ? I've searched for hours but can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks !

 

My access cab was about an inch lower than the front when I put mine at 1.75. Your DCSB might be level, but I'd guess you'll have slight bro lean.

 

I saw a 2nd gen today with some serious bro lean. I died a little inside

 

I've been reading a lot on 5100's with tacomas and I'm pretty sure 1.75" on the front with no rear lift will be nose high on your truck. I plan on setting mine at 0.85" or the first lift setting (2nd notch).

Cheapest way to lift the rear an inch would be aal or the not so recommended blocks.

 

5100's at 1.75, 265/75/R16 Toyo Open Country, I have the stock rear springs after the recall. I do have Firestone air bags in the rear but I normally dont keep them aired up unless I am towing something. It really depends on how much your rear leaf springs sag. I think before the leaf spring recall mine did sit just barely nose high but it was barely noticeable.

 

What rear springs does you truck have? 2+1 or 3+1? 2 curved with 1 lower flat, or 3 curved with 1 lower flat. If you have the 2+1, then 1.75 will put you nose high. If you have 3+1, it might be level, or slightly nose high. It depends on your weight and rear suspension. You best bet would be to slightly lift the rear if you want to go to 1.75" in the front.

I have the rear 3+1 and put my bilsteins at 1.75" and it was close level, but the rear started to drop with miles. I then installed an icon 3 leaf for 1.5" lift in the rear, now the rear sits slighty higher.

 

I have the recall ones, 3+1
I may have a few pounds of air in the airbags in my pics. I honestly dont recall. I can raise and lower my rear end using the air bags. Of course it stiffens the ride, but I like it slightly stiffer.

I also jumped up to 265/70/r17. At first there was "bro lean" but it has leveled out now. Anytime I carry anything in the bed though I sag in the rear.

 

I'm on bilstein 5100s in the front and stock rear. Tires are 285/70/17 Toyo Open Country. No rubbing no noise runs smooth and sits perfect for daily driving.

 

This is how my truck sat when it had 5100s set at 1.75" and the stock Dunlops.

 

Do I need the 1/4" spacer for the bro lean for the driver side?
