Post your LIFTED pix here!

Done and done.

Bilstein 5100s front and rear set at 2.5 with 1.5 daystar spacer in the rear topped off with some Toyo Open Country AT2S in 285 70 R17

just to confirm; you have 5100s set to 2.5 in the front, 2.0 in the rear and 1.5 spacer?
stock springs?

The rear 5100s accommodate 0-2" but don't actually provide lift, hence the spring spacer

edit: adding my first pic to the lifted thread, this page in particular could use more pics

I picked up 5100s for all four corners of my 2012 TE (no kdss). Plan on installing the eibach/toytec 112 620 at the same time in the front to level (1.6") with front bilsteins set at 0.



Will this work? I don't want to be nose high. I tow nothing. no other mods. (will run a slightly larger tire (ko2 275/70/17).



any help is appreciated. I don't want to pay for the install only to discover that I'm nose high! so, if i should be replacing rear springs or installing a spacer, please let me know.... I sincerely appreciate the help!


I'm also curious to see what people say about this set up.
 
Sorry but I missed phase 1. What you did to your suspension ? Are those in the picture spacers ?

Thanks

Phase 1 was the actual lift a few pages back. Should have probably started a build thread. Those are not spacers, they are drop brackets part of the lift. The TRD/Billy struts are mounted to them without any additional load on the coils. The front diff and the LCA are in a new position to maintain the full range of motion as part of the drop bracket lift. There are also new knuckles to support the lower wheel position. The rear has upgraded springs and we moved the mount of the rear shocks.
 
Kind of on topic, not exactly though but I have a question. Seems like people on this thread would be able to help me out.

I have a 2012 SR5 that I am getting ready to raise 2.5" in the front and 1.5" in the rear. For wheels I bought a set of Level 8 MK6's, 17"x8" with 0 offset.

My question is, will I have any rubbing issues if I go with 285/70 Nitto Terra Grapler G2's?

So this is effectively a 2.75 inch lift? (5100 @ 1.75 + 1 spacer?)

nope, 5100s all around, set at 1.75" in the front and a 1" spring spacer in the rear. my full tank before & after measurements from ground to fender:
Before After gain
FD: 34.5" 36.25" 1.75"
FP: 34.75" 36.5" 1.75"
RD: 36.75" 38" 1.25"
RP: 37" 38.25" 1.25"

so the 1" thick spacer actually seems to have yielded 1.25", also the tires are stock size 265's so perhaps that's making the gap look larger than many others who stepped up to 275 or 285
full tank lean was only 0.25" front and back so i didn't bother with a trim packer

Any size larger then stock, expect some kind of rubbing. How much and how little depends on types and brand of tires. Always expect to make some kind of modification to bumper, liners, uca, alignments, and possibly body mounts.

I have my 5100's set at 1.75 front, and trim packers in the rear. Mine does not look anywhere close to as high. Looks sweet!
 
Phase 2 complete. Camburg UCA and trimmed my TRD plate to clear the new sway bar position.

Ride looks great! What load rating did you go with on those trail grapplers? C1 or E1? I don't understand why the 6 ply (C1) are so much more expensive vs the 10 ply (E1)...

Also how do you like the ride quality of those tires?

i looked thru your posts to find a profile comparison pic. i think they really look about the same, my thoughts are the higher rear stance on mine ever so slightly rotates the back corner of the front fender up giving that impression? the wheel spacers may create a placebo effect of looking beefier as well. you take any b/a measurements?
i like the wrapped roof rails and gobi ladder btw. hope u don't mind re-using one of ur pics

Don't mind at all, other than causing envy to see how much more aggressive your setup looks. It's the spacers and the better looking tires that have that effect! Looks mean, I like it.

Thanks for the compliment!. As for the tires they only make an E1 in my size that I saw 285/75/17. The tires ride is great on dirt/loose stuff.. The highway there is a bit more noise than the 265 AT's that the Pro came with but I was actually expecting more. 5MPH and below you can actually feel the individual blocks on a smooth surface. My first choice was the Toyo's but I couldn't get them in time for the lift.
 
Not nearly as impressive as most here but I installed my lift. I already have my new wheels. I'll be ordering tires on payday. :)

Before.
