Good day all,
I have a 2017 Sr5 that i installed 5100 all around with The Toytec 3" coil kit up front and 2" Springs in the rear.
Also have the JDA UCAs.

front
521600 Toytec Coil Spring
Bilsten 5100 ( Set at lowest setting as per Toytec instructions)
and a 1/2 Toytec spacer to achieve the full 3"

Rear
2" Toytec SuperFlex


My questions is... what would be the best way to get another 1" lift for a total of about 4"? didnt want to do body lift but if its not that big a deal willing to do it.
The rear i was thinking ICON 3" coils or 1" poly spacers.

The front i need some recommendation/advice with...

I already have 1/2" metal Toytec spacers in the front and on the driver side i added a 1/4" spacer for the lean.
This kit with top plate: https://www.toyteclifts.com/521600-kit-toytec-3-lift-front-coil-spring-kit.html


what would be the best way to get another 1" upfront? I know the 5100s have 3 settings upfront but the site said the recommend only installing with clip on the lowest setting..

What are you trying to do with that extra inch? It's helpful to know what you're trying to achieve here before making any suggestions.
 
Your desire to bump up to 4 inches in the front may be met with CV angles that prove too extreme. Much above 23.5 inches from center hub to fender lip may leave your wallet pretty light and a whale of a mess to clean up under your rig from slung grease out of the CV boots when they give up.

Body lift would give you your extra inch without increasing CV angles any further. A few folks here are running the 1 inch BL without issue. If you really want the extra 1 inch that'd be the route to take IMO.

I have the same kit, Ultimate kit to be exact. I thought about the same thing so I got in touch with ToyTec. Not only will it lead to terrible CV angles, you will also likely damage your shocks. From what I was told, the 5100 they use is not designed for anything over 3" on the 4R Going higher will likely lead to bottoming them out and damaging them. What I did was add a 3/4" spacer to the back and i'm running a 295. Really no need for anything more IMO

just get back what i feel has settled in the front. So just for looks. I off road but plan to keep the same size 285 70s.
 
If you feel you settled, just tweak the adjustment to gain it back. That is assuming you have the adjustable shocks. I can tell you after over a year and 10K miles on my kit I haven't settled at all.

Thanks for the info man. Your ride looks great.

I don't have the adjustable, just the regular 5100s with 51600 Toytec spring.

After reading this ill just leave it as is.
