Smallest Leveling Kit

I installed my rears, but the fronts and alignment was about $250-300 for the install at 4WP.

 

front installed + rear installed + alignment = $415

 

My new buddy Bpozza24 was having some trouble posting his photos using google photos (it is so messed up)...I thought I would post them for him
Your Tacoma looks great with the new BFGs....when I see a tricked out Tacoma like this....I think one thing...this is the kind of guy that can go anywhere, do anything.

 

Check this out they were painting the yellow lines in the road yesterday and they didnt even put a sign out that said WET PAINT. I took it to the car wash right after I noticed it wouldnt come off. Then I started calling some buddies to see what to do. To make a long story short if this ever happens to anyone. Oven cleaner let it soak for a few minutes then wipes right off. Then wash your truck with dawn soap and wax it. I got lucky and one of my buddies knows a guy that does detailing on the side. Tricks of the trade I guess. Other wise Im sure I would have had to fight with the highway Dept to cover this. I know this dont have anything to do with this thread but I just thought I would share how I spent my Saturday night LOL. I still havent installed my front 5100s yet but I got a quote 250.00 out the door.

 

All right guys, I've got my 5100s on order (front only) and I just went out and got my measurements center hub to fender: Driver side front - 20", rear - 21.25"(???) Passenger side front - 20.5", Passenger side rear - 22". My 2015 DCSB only has 2300 miles, so is there still some settling of the suspension that needs to occur? I am really concerned about the 21.25" measurement on the rear driver side. I was originally going to go with the 1.75" setting, but now I am thinking the .85 setting. i don't really want to sit nose high, but if my front suspension is still settling I hate to go with the smaller setting and wish I had gone higher later. 21.25" on the driver side rear???? Thoughts????

 

Was your truck emptied out before you measured the height? It could be...gas tank on the rear driver side? Not exactly sure what side thats on so don't take my word for it, I haven't looked

 

I see the conversation about 5100's, but I don't go offroad and I like the factory ride. Would 1.5" top spacers be a horrible idea?

 

Yes. Search & read.

I've searched a lot. I've read a lot. But it always comes back to this discussion of Bilstein 5100's. I get the benefits and I've read the analysis on Bilstein's website. You can raise the truck and keep the stock suspension within factory geometry. That's awesome. But if I can raise it with $40 spacers by 1.5" and still have the same ride I'd prefer to do that. Most people post on here about 3" spacers and I can see how that is a bad option. Was curious is 1.5" is so small it's ok.

 

1/4" top plate spacers on the stock set up

 

Could I use 5100's set at .85 and a top out spacer. 50 for 1.35 in the front?

The next setting, 1.75, will give me bro rake with the items I carry.

 

Eibacks are 1.6"

 

Let me make sure I'm clear - 5100 in the front set to 0 and Eibacks will give me 1.6 in the front, no bro rake, and ride smooth? Where's the best place to buy, I'll order right now.

 

Well , yes they will get you 1.6" but they are a stiffer spring rate than stock or OME 883/4/5/7

You could also go OME 883 coils over 5100's @ 0 for about 1 1/2"

 

If you always carry a heavy load, you should look into these. I just ordered a set...everyone gives them great reviews

"Bro rake". Haha. Never heard that. Yep, I live under a rock.

 

Got my front 5100s installed today. I'm going to try to post a picture from my phone.
