Party Time!!

It looks awesome. I have the same stuff on the way. J

What do you have the bilsteins set to? looks good with the rack but could you level it out more or is that the top of the plate?

Also what the are rear shocks in your pic? Monroe?

The Bilsteins are set on the 3rd perch. I would like the front to come up a tad more, but I wont go up another perch. Might add a 1/2" top plate spacer later, not sure yet. Gotta see what it looks like with the 285s on there. The rear shocks are factory FJ80 Tokicos. Thanks for the compliment, I really like the ride, you're gonna dig yours.

Adding a spacer and installing the rest higher is doing the same thing. One's free, the other isn't =)

It just preloads the spring more. The more you preload it, the less the progressive spring action there is and the more harsh the ride will be.

This is assuming you have the 5 perch setting Tundra Billies. Tacoma's have three I think.

I was thinking about using the 3rd position like you did but from what I can tell it doesn't look like it changed the front ride height in a noticeable way. Make sure you post up some photos in a month or so when the rear has settled. Mine sits perfectly level when I have my gear and boat hooked up so I like that aspect a lot.

Will do. I'm glad I went with the 3rd perch...Theres a little more rear rake to it then I would like, and since the 8 wraps I bought were used, I'm not sure how much they will settle. I'm getting my KM2's mounted on Wednesday finally, so I'll post more pics then. Looks a little silly with the 265s still on there. Also going on a road trip to Montana in a couple weeks, and I'll have it loaded with a dog, camping and fishing gear, so I'll post some pics then to see what it looks like with the weight in the rear. Probably 150lbs of stuff at least.
