Anyone running 5100s @ 2.5" with Saw1.5" rear coils?

No matter how much I rotate the pic its always sideways . I will try taking some new pics tomorrow

hey jambo, so when did you install the icons??? have they had time to settle, and if so was the 0.5 positive rake after they settled?? sharp looking truck!! maybe ill drive past you sometime up here in BC and gie you a wave!

I just got them installed on Monday. Will do my alignment on weekend but inspite of that it still drives like how it should have driven stock in first place. I do have my old shocks in the trunk along with my spare tire when I took the pics , just in case if you think it makes a difference. I personally don't think few pounds matter. NSOR in north van said these icons springs will not sag, have to find out in time .

Now a member!! Oh and thanks for the on info..I am just trying to determine what to set my fronts at but after seeing yours am likely gonna go with 1.75 as my rear saws will be slightly less lift than your icons. Here's hoping it works out!! Once I get it done up ill post some pics...
 
This is better....!!

You weren't kidding when you said you're not a computer guy, lol.

If you're using Windows OS, just open up the picture on MS Paint and rotate to the orientation you want and save it, easy peasy :)
 
I thought I was in this thread when I posted this http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-g...suspension-upgrade-results-3.html#post1471291 . Woops, figured I would just leave the link here.

thanks for that!! one second i think that having the fronts at 2.5 with SAWs in the rear will give me level and once they settle ill potentially get a bit of negative rake....the next i think 1.75 in the front with SAWs ill have too much rake.....sheesh. decisions decisions....
 
even if you get 1.75" out of SAWs (if they settle) you still are NOT going to have negative rake. The rear is already 2" higher stock. Look at CENTCOMPETES rig. he is set to 1.75" in the front and is running factory springs out back... it is dead level by the tape.

Yeah i see what you are saying. i appreciate the info...i figure ill just go at 2.5" in the front with help of everyones suggestions. you think there will be a need for a spacer to compensate for the drivers side lag...?? i see toytec has a few available and it seems like it is hit and miss on here what guys are running.
:cheers:

Bumping this as I'm looking to do the same setup.

UCAs? While I know it is highly recommended to do so, those that didn't....are you content with the handling and how many actually got alignment to spec?

Was going to settle for 1.75/1" cornfeds but I am highly leaning towards 2.5/1.5" SAW.
