    After looking at the truck more I think if I did bilsteins at 1.75 I’d only need 1” in back, or 0.85 and leave the back alone. Ugh I like how high the back sits now but I have a lot more rake. 0.85 might be a decent compromise but I hope it’s noticeable.

    I currently have mine set up the same way. I have progressive AALs to add here soon. I look at mine and while it measures level it looks like I got the carolina squat going on sometimes. Once I get the AALs on it'll look like a normal rake again.

    Exactly. That’s why I want the back to stay an inch or so higher than front. But it’s closer to 1.75-2” higher than front right now

    This is for all the people that said my 2010 Tacoma 2.7 is not designed to run 93 octane fuel.

    Occasionally mine gets a "treat" tank of ethanol free gas from Buccee's.....IIRC it is 92......and $1 or so more a gallon than the usual 10% ethanol stuff. Noticed maybe 1-2 mpg better but that's about it.

    Looks like the way mine sat before I got the 5100s. I would say getting 5100s to the 3rd notch then getting something like wheelers 3 leaf progressive AALs would lift you high enough to where it has the standard rake but give you the lift you need.

    This is how mine sits but I will be getting 255/80/r17 here Thursday to fill the wells as the 265s seem a bit small.

    What leaf pack is on top of the aal - 4 leaf with the overload? 2020 Sport coilovers gave a bit of reverse rake with the tsb 4 leaf so I'm going to try to get the rake back.

    I need to look under there but I'm betting all I have is what is offered stock. Should be a 2+1 leaf. 2 leafs then the overload. Least that's what I have now. I have the 3 leaf progressives that I need to add. Should make a total of 5+1. It should add 1.5 inches of lift with maybe a bit more. I'm hoping just for the 1.5 in total. Don't wanna have too much rake.

    I run 87 (from Mobil) for as long as I've owned the truck.

    I didn't know about the meaning of octane rating until after buying 91 for my truck for about a year, but once I realized the 2tr is low compression I went with gool ol' 87
