Rear End Options (2007 Crewcab)

Hey folks,

First post here, after being a long time lurker. I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction.

I've got a 2007 4 door with 118k miles on it, 6 speed manual, been an outstanding vehicle. This summer I did Bilstein 5100s all the way around (fronts set at 2.5) with Toytec front coils, and a Dakar AAL in the rear. Setup this way, with a Leer topper installed, my rear is almost exactly 1" lower.

To get that butt-end up an inch (or maybe 1.5" for towing), what is my best option? I am planning on having the TSB spring replacement done, but the dealer told me they would NOT put my AAL on with the new leaf pack (liability I suppose).

Is my best option purchasing a 1" or 1.5" Toytec rear block kit and using that with the new springs?

Thanks for any help!

 

Request the dealership return your old parts... reinstall the aal

Blocks will just accelerate the wear on the oem crappacks

 

Your best bet would be new aftermarket spring packs.

 

Welcome to TW! Grab the old man emu HD Dakar pack and you will be gold Jerry, gold.

 

yep

 

Thanks for the replies!

I am going to see where the TSB repair leaf packs put my truck, as I've read a few guys say it got them a bit of butt-end lift. If that doesn't work out like I hope, it might be time to reinstall that Dakar aal like recommended, or perhaps the Wheeler 3 Leaf progressive aal.
