    i just recently got my front blistiens installed a week ago Finally.. so I’m now sitting at 3” in the front and stock on the rear. I got a little bro lean going on I want a leveled 3” lift so any advice on what I should add to the rear? I’ve heard from a few people to just add a block or add a lead or some shackles? I don’t do much off-roading so something that’s reliable and a comfy ride!
    & In a couples weeks Im ordering some KM3 BFs 33x12.50 On some pro comp 69 series wheels not sure if the 33s will rub much or not. But some help or suggestions for the rear lift to get it leveled!

    Block, add a leaf, or new leaf pack are your choices.
    Blocks are fine if you dont carry any weight.
    Aal is good, but if you carry weight leave the overload in
    A new pack is Dakar, deaver and I think all pro. There are also custom leak packs available.
    Pick your poison.

    Damn so no shackles? I was considering those but I might honestly just go with a Aal ! Wondering what’s the price range

    Shackles are a possibility but I dont think they stiffen up the leaf pack at all for the lift you intend to achieve. Most replace them because the stock ones kind of suck and get smashed.

    If you don't off-road why are you buying KM3s? MTs are noisy on the road. But hey, its your money man! And I'll recommend a full leaf pack with bilsteins.

    I know man I get that told a lot but the ATs don’t give that aggressive look at all and & thats what I’m going for that aggressive look. Every now and hen I hit some trials but not anything too crazy! Most likely going with Aal !

    Pretty sure it sits around 21 1/2 to 21 3/4 inches. Measured from center of wheel hub to the bottom of the fender flare.

    Your shock perches are set too high if those are OME coils.

    For the rear, the best option is a new leaf pack and the Toyota leaf pack can be thrown in the trash where they perform best.

    Aal with overload left in should give you 2”

    As far as rubbing with the tires you want, it all depends on your Wheel spec.

    The most important is the offset of your wheel...do you know it?
