About 1 inch will level the truck out. 5100s are the way to go.

What will that run installed? I've been spending like a Mad Woman!
$525 the price I was given by two different shops here locally for a ReadyLift 2.25 leveling kit. Parts/Labor/Alignment

Readylift sucks though. Figure $600 for front 5100s since you are having a shop do the install. The shocks themselves aren't expensive, it's the labor. Maybe go to a local mod day and the member will help if you supply beer, food or money.

I'm gonna have to read up on those, but I'll take a guess and say those replacement shocks are adjustable???
So can they adjust for more than an inch? Sorry I don't know much about lift kits.

0 to about 2.75 inches in 3 steps.

Price wise it's a big jump up. I'll have to see how much they charge to install.

That's not a leveling kit though. It's a full kit for all 4 corners.

Ya, but the more I think about it, if I'm gonna do it, I should do it right.
No way its the best on the market, too many factors to figure in, too much subjective thoughts.
All these teams running Kings must be mistaken.

Those are their words, from their website, not my words or opinion. I just copied and pasted.
Pretty sure they wouldn't advertise "our product ain't the best, but it's pretty good". Hahaha

Although I do remember a sign outside a restaurant that read something like "Lousy Service, Terrible Food, Only the Stupid Tourist Eat Here".
Damn place always had a line out the door/packed everyday!

So......what else beside a 5100 kit? What if I decide to go with bigger tires next time. Is a 5100 kit gtg?
Look'n for a really good gun rack system. Love going to the range or running tactical exercises. Be nice to have a clever setup, and also quick release for small arms.

Still waiting......
So I decided to Dip my TRD Pro Grille
Didn't really like that shiny look, so Matte Black it is, oh and I did the "TOYOTA" letter in a Dark Gray the next day.
Thought about white, then said nah, too bright, I want it more subtle and calm.
I'm happy with the new look!
Now all I need is my Darn Truck!

Ok thanks. I see on the tire charts it's says 7.5 - 8" for 285s
But it seems like a lot of folks are running them on the 7 inch wheels. Was just wondering if that created wear issues in the center for example since the tire is being squeezed a little bit.

I don't know from experience but I've seen plenty of people on here that run 285's on stock wheels
