    All good and within spec. Caster out a bit on passenger front and they can't correct, but won't cause wear. Explains the right side tendency.

    How are you liking the setup? I'm really close to buying this! Was it hard to install??

    I put about 100 miles on it so far. The best I can describe the overall ride is 'TRD OR+'. It's not harsh at all- not one bit. I drove about 20 miles on a really rutted out, washboarded road with lot's of deep holes, whoops and what-not- It did great. The suspension is 'quick', not bouncy at all. Rebounds nicely. Over the road it is compliant and feels not at all that much different than the TRD-OR it replaced- just a little faster and firmer- which I am VERY happy with.

    Install was not tough with the exception of my first AAL- It took me a little time to get that sorted out to get my suspension to droop enough. My jackstands were not tall enough- had to block them up a few times and reposition them to get it right. The second side took less than 45 minutes once I figured it out. The rear 5160's come with brake line relocation stuff, so that takes a little time. I started the whole thing at 1:00 p.m. and finished up around 7:30p.m. including putting my tools away. I was solo for the most part and took my time. Ate lunch, that sort of thing. The coilovers were pre-assembled, so that made it easier too.

    I had an alignment done yesterday at Toyota and it's in spec. Stock UCA, front coilover set at position 3. Used one 1/4" spacer on the drivers side. Lift numbers were basically spot on with 1.75 and 1.5" front lift and 2" lift in the rear. I took the overload out of the rear.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    You can order from Wheelers, Headstrong, Down South.. They all carry the items necessary to do the install. I would say talk to at least 2 and order with whom you feel comfortable with. If you are lifting the truck you need an AAL or rear spring pack, you need the 6112 set to the desired height, a 1/4" spacer for the top mount, new spring bolts and hardware... I got everything that I needed when I talked to the vendor.

    I think you need to determine what lift height you want in order to match up the rear. The 5160's I have are matched for left and right side (specific) and are okay to run with 2" of lift- which is what I have in the rear with the 3 leaf prog AAL. If you want to go higher you may need to select a different rear shock. I think 5165 is the reservoir shock in various travel lengths or the 5100 in extended for 3-4" lift. This is where you need to talk to a vendor in order to get it right.

    Since I have no desire to go over 2-2.5" in lift on my truck, this set up works great.

    Did you get 1.75 and 1.5 inches with the 1/4" spacer installed. Am I to expect that without the spacer I'll be leaning like a half inch or something ?

    I was leaning stock, so that spacer corrected it. 1.75" lift drivers side w/spacer, 1.5" lift passenger side no spacer. Both sides now essentially level center hub to fender.

    So my Icon add a leaf + stock springs are borderline sagging and pretty flat after a few months of use. Guess that's my fault for carrying a RTT and camping stuff.


    What should I get? The all pro expo pack or something else?

    Plan on getting an expo trailer soon so weight won't always be an issue.

    The BOSS 2.5 line can be serviced and rebuilt as needed.

    Is that a unique feature to this brand or model shock? I ask because I paid just as much for the suspension on my motorcycle and its 100% serviceable.

    The 2.5 model line is the first serviceable shock line for Toytec Lifts. But brands like ICON, KING, and FOX are completely servicable for all models.
