    Presently running Tacoma takeoffs with OME 2895 (2.5”) springs in rear and 1/4” spacer on takeoff struts/coils/factory UCAs with diff drop. Have a slight rake and trying to level by lifting front. Got a deal on Dobinsons 302 coils and have 5100s otw. Will the 5100s work with the Dobs coils (2.5”)? On which perch to level? Std on rear and .85 on front? Rear springs are medium stiffness and not running any xtra weight but will be adding a hitch mounted tire carrier.813ED08E-D712-46D9-B8B6-24283234AD29.jpg

    Thanks @Savant Autoworks. LCAs, UCAs and 5100s to be installed next week. I’m not liking the current alignment/tire wear on a new set of KO2s.

    What’s the harm in kicking the front 5100s up a notch on the Dobinsons 302 coil? Am I risking damage to the strut/perch with the heavier coil?

    Really want to level but may end up needing a rear spring .5” shorter if I go with the lowest setting on the 5100s.
