    Maybe put a add a leaf on the rear to level it out. Right now you’re sitting nose high. If the springs don’t level out that’s the cheapest fix. With 3.5” in the front and 1.5” in the rear you need another inch in the rear to get level.

    Are you sure you are on the top? Looks like you are on the 3rd notch should only give you 1.9. Here are mine set at 1.920200604_200205.jpg Make sure installed correctly

    There only 2 perch showing should be 3 showing to be on top setting so 2.5 would be his height for lift

    Honestly it’s not bad its a little stiffer but still rides better than my 2015 Tacoma.

    Nothing yet, but headed that way!!!!
    Looks amazing. Did you have to do anything with skid plate? sway bar? or Diff? Also, is this putting a lot of torque on the A arm?

    Idk about the OP, but I did Bilstien 6112 and 5160 rears, and Coachbuilder +3 Shackles a few weeks back.
    Dif drop and carrier bearing drop definitely needed and I did them. I also did 2 drivers side shims and 1 passenger for 3in front lift with SPC UCA'S for alignment.

    Truck rides SO much better now, not stiff at all, good, very good. Way better then the stock black shocks I had at 55k miles.

    Did great on the beach in OBX last weekend.

    Great upgrade, but if going max setting or higher front like I did, you need dif drop and UCA'S, plus alignment.

    Love it. Worth every penny and the 10hrs I spent installing it all.

    Not sure if I under your last question about torque on uca. I did do a carrier bearing drop truck ran fine but did it to keep the drive shaft within the stock specs. Diff drop kit not yet I haven’t had time to install. Skid plate nothing but 2020 tundras have a different (smaller) than previous years. I’m still waiting on my toyo open country mt’s and wheel spacers plan on running stock wheels with 275/65/r20

    this looks amazing. What setting did you do on the front, did you do a lift in the rear, and what UCA did you go with?
