    Hey Mike, I understand what your asking now. I think your question might be better answered in the 3rd gen section rather than the 2nd gen because I believe 3rd gen Tacos sit 1in higher than 2nd gens from the factory.

    With that said, I think you can get away with putting the billies on the top notch (2.5in estimated) setting along with your AAL in the rear to have a leveled look with your shell. That would basically give you about 2.5 up front, and 1.75-2 in the rear.

    To give you an idea, this is my truck with 3in up front and the same AAL you have.


    My shell is canvas so it doesn't weigh anywhere near a fiberglass one.

    Led pod fog light inserts, kn cold air intake, Bilstein 5100 with 2 inch coil combo and progressive AAL. Touchscreen pioneer stereo and infinity components with 2 kicker comp r10's and jones turbine exhaust
    ive got 2 inch coils with a 3 leaf AAL in the rear, the front has settled and is a little lower than the rear, how harsh would my ride be if I took it from 0 to .75?

    Just put 1 inch blocks in the back and 5100s with stock sprigs set at 1.75. Lift and level. Not overkill. And got decent numbers for the alignment. Any higher and you might as well get UCAs. Pic with the bike is a before with some stuff in the back.

    I have an 05 access cab 4x4 and the 1.75 setting will be very close to level and might be a hair nose high.

    Trd off road coils are different, just a FYI for people unaware. The 5100 settings will yield different lift numbers with these progressive coils

    Did you keep your overload with the AAL? Looks good
