Toytec lift inquiry

Hello Forum,

I have a 2008 DCSB 4.0 Tacoma 2WD. I have a rear Hellwig add-a-leaf kit & a 1/4" spacer (to cure the Taco lean issue) on the left front strut. The height specs are as follows:

l.f. 35.25
r.f. 35.25
l.r. 37.75
r.r. 37.00

I am looking at this kit: , part #OME3-05-AL.

Is anyone here running this? If so can you give me the height specs that your truck sits at with this? I measured from the floor up to the very bottom of the fenders with the wheel center cap centering the measuring tape as a guide. Obviously, I would remove the Hellwig add-a-leaf & install this complete kit instead. Also, I won't install the extra spacer on the front struts. I think it will raise the front only 2" instead of three.
I don't want three inches of lift.

Can the alignment be brought back into specs? Will it still have some rake? Should I leave well enough alone? Should I just run Billies (5100's) on al fours with the front @ 1.75? I don't want the truck level because when I tow, the rear will look lower. As it is now, I tow a 4600 lb boat & it's level with the weight & 4 adults on it (PS: Timbrens help also)!

Sorry for the question bombardment! LOL!
THANKS!!!!

 

Off topic but on topic. How do you like the Hellwig? I'm considering it to help offset sag when towing or hauling my quad.

 

Hello Tmill,
I am very happy with the Hellwigs. I ended up replacing my rear leaf pack with a 2/1 pack off of a 2012 TRD Tacoma and a 3 Leaf AAL. I also purchased and installed the EZ550 from Hellwig to firm up the rear suspension. I think Hellwig products are great and I highly recommend them.

 

Lots of people running that. I did not use the top plates nor did I use a Taco lean spacer but it definitely had a rake, I think around 1/2" - 3/4"
