Keep the current setup, or drop the front springs?

Hey guys, i just finished doing the entire front end on my truck.. and decided it would be a great time to add new springs.

I put the eibach 3" springs up front with the tundra 5100 adjustable shocks set to the middle perch.

I have LC 7.5 wrap coils the back with air bags.

My truck has a sleeping platform, tool storage unit and often carries gear. The photos below show it with the sleeping platform and some gear (the springs sag a little more under full camping gear load)

I want to get this thing aligned and finished.. my thoughts are i either go back out and drop the front end to the bottom perch (lowering it 1.5" from what i gather) or leave it for now then down the road if it bothers me put two of the 10mm spacers on each side in the back.

i haaaate reverse rake!! Much prefer the back end to be higher.. but don't want to lose all of my lift upfront!

Definitely looks good now. Will your tires rub if you go down 1.5" in the front? The hidden winch is sweet.

Thanks, the winch has been a lifesaver. That’s a good point about the rub as I’m going up in tire size (to 285). Not sure what others experience has been with tundras on lowest perch and 33”s

I ran my Tundra on the bottom perch for a while.

Not sure what each perch translates to with the front springs you have - the Tundra TRD springs are about 2/3 of an inch. I would also factor in what tire size you want to run in the future. I always seem to be going bigger so would not move to a lower perch.
