Here's my setup with stock suspension and no leveling kit -- 2008 Limited 4x4 with XREAS. General ATX 265/70/17, 17x9 -12 offset Level 8 wheels
I took the mudflaps off up front. No trimming. I can crank the wheel almost all the way going left, but going right it rubs a bit but parking lots etc. are still doable. I definitely need to get a leveling kit or upgrade the suspension.

SOOOOO manybut for options and all of these just makes it more difficult
Newbie here, Just picked up a 06 SR5 V6 w/126k on it.
Going through ALL this info is mid-boggling.
So far I've picked up a set of 6112s and 5160's, but trying to figure out if the rear springs are stock or aftermarket. Buying from a dealer doesn't provide me with any links to the PO to ask.
Question for the group; the rear spring has a yellow paint marking on it. Does that provide ANY insight to what the spring might be?
Thanks!

Here’s my stock rear spring next to a Icon spring provided a 2” lift. Toyota factory springs typically have paint marks on 1-2 coils.

Installed Dobinson 2.5" lift this last Friday, and new Falken 275/65/18 on Saturday. Really like the way it looks, has a slight forward rake. I gained about 3" in front and 2" in back, I thought I might gain more initially because of the age of the old shocks and springs. Fit of the new tires is good, although I did push the liners forward on both sides and it looks like I will need spidertrax to clear the UCA's. Happy with the ride.

Awesome Trioneous. I love the SCS but could not available at the time I got my Fuels. Motivates me to purchase the 650lbs springs for my 6100.
Any rubbing issues? If not i'll be purchasing the springs sooner.

where do you have you spare?

The normal pushing the fender liner forward, removing mud flaps, and trimming some plastic near where the mud flaps were. For daily driving it’s doing really well not rubbing now.
Tires do not clear body mount at full lock. Caster is 3.6. I guess the wheels could go a little more forward. I’m getting a body mount chop in a few weeks. It’s fine for on-road driving right now.
The 650lb spring definitely makes it taller. I had to lower it down to the 3rd clip from the 5th (second highest) because I had 1/2” reverse rake even with the 2” Icon springs in the rear. Now it’s sits perfect with about 1/4” of forward rake.

that's coming! just got another trd pro wheel and i'm going to get another ko2 new since this set isn't very old at all. for now i'll have to carry it in the back, but i'm looking to get a rear hitch swingout very soon. just wish detours of maine wasn't on a 12 month backorder right now. might have to go with RIGd but dayumn....over $1k seems crazy to me! :wtf:
anyway, i haven't had a full size spare for about a year now and have luckily not had to use one. maybe not lucky so much as the bfg ko2's are burly AF. i still have the factory spare underneath....it would still work for me for where i go most of the time if i was in a real pinch... i'd just put the smaller spare on the front and drive out in 2wd.

Lift + Front End Refresh
My 2005 SR5 4wd is coming up on 200k and starting to show its age with a little wobble at 60 MPH. I know I need to replace the hubs/wheel bearings and figured I'd do a refresh on the front end. I just moved to Denver so picked up a couple of CVJ Reman front axles and also ordered JBA UCAs.
Right now I'm riding on Bilstein 5100s (fronts at .85) and FJ Trail Teams springs all around. I have about 50k on a set of 255/75/17 Cooper AT3 4S (32.2") on 5th Gen TRD OR wheels and they've served me well but I'm looking to move up to some 33" Falkens so I may try to lift it another inch or so. I've considered adjusting the Bilsteins up a notch or two but I think I'd rather not compress the springs that much. Can anyone recommend a set of springs that pair well with 5100s (and can fit a 33" tire without setting the Bilsteins above the first notch or two)?
Also - are there any other items I should look at or replace while I have everything apart? I think it would made sense to do the lower control arms as well - is the consensus still that Toyota OEM is the right move there?

Brother, you're a better mechanic than I am. I did virtually the same on mine with OME coils with Billsteins. For me it was more like 3 hours to do the rear springs, but I got them did and have been super happy with them.

hi, Im new here and trying to figure out my lift/ tire/ rim options.
I am working on getting set up for off roading / overlanding. I am going to do a 3" suspension lift and I would like to get bigger tires, Id really like to go up to 33" if possible but I am not sure if they would fit. If you were starting from scratch what would you do. Im thinking of doing a small body lift to help with better clearance for bigger tires but I dont want to go too big and throw of the center of gravity. Im having a hard time finding good options for low profile bumpers too, any hints?
