Wheeler's T-12 & New T-13 Rear Lift Coils!

Total NOOB question, but have been reading endless posts, finding myself more confused and now I'm just looking for a definitive answer:

Running front 5100s at ZERO with T1 springs will lift and be level with rear 5100s with T13 springs? TIA!

It won't be level. Here's my earlier post about my setup with pictures. You can see I have some perceived rake even though I lifted the front too. In reality, the frame is level despite the appearance that the front is a bit lower than the back.

These are all I have from that weekend. I took it through some fairly moderate stuff and it handled everything great! Decent flex and clearance. For the money, its a solid set up for sure.

I was all set to do my lift and wheels this weekend but Hawaii has one if not the dumbest laws for recon (any mods to any vehicle they call it recon or reconstruction permit) in addition to the safety inspection. But since I just got my 2013 Trail last month they haven’t transferred the registration yet into my name so my safety is only temp till I get my registration. Can’t wait though.

Looks good. Confirming: T1 and 5100s at 0 front with 10mm spacer driver's front, T13 and 5100s rear? 285 tires?

Looking good! Did you get the center of hub to fender measurements? I installed a Toytec Boss kit on a friend's '17 4R this weekend. I was very surprised at the amount of lift it gave compared to my lift.

That's correct, sir!

I messed up and measured ground to fender before the lift went on, so i can park in the same spot and measure again, but sadly it wont be from the hub.

I'm already wanting to go 3" haha. My pregnant wife hates it tho, i tried to get her to use a step stool, but she refuses. So, it's her fault now lol.

For those running T1 springs on 5100’s did you need to relocate the sway bar?



I’ve had the t1 and t13 springs flexed out pretty good and no issues with sway bar.

Are you leaning towards that setup?

Yes, that's why I've been on this thread recently. My old 4R had the Toytec BOSS at 2.5", Total Chaos UCAs, 285s, but I really didn't love it.

My current 4R has Bilsteins all around with front at .85, 265s. While I am quite happy with this setup, and it is perfect for the off roading I do, I kind of want to go bigger... but stay simple. Research basically led me to the Wheelers setup with 285s as you have. Now I'm just selling myself on it completely.

My hesitation and continued research isn't even a money issue... I just don't want to have a jank ass truck. The "vagueness" in Wheeler's commitment to actual height obtained via the coils and the varying height gains reported on here has me continually thinking.

thats because of all the different setups and variables that go into it. Wheelers probably got sick of being b1tched at cause guys emailed them saying they got 2.2223435425234" of lift instead of 2.0000000001" of lift. :bigok:

Yeah I'm sure that's the reason. I just need to unass myself. I'm also lazy as shit and kind of dreading installing this stuff...
 
Ordered!

Steven (Stephen?) at Wheeler's was great. Had a ready answer to all my questions and impressed me as a knowledgeable enthusiast.

T1, T13 springs, 5100s all around, trim packers driver side front and rear. Front coils and struts assembled. $802.00 with forum discount. You can't beat that with a ****ing stick!

Since I live 120 miles away I'm just dropping my truck off at Mike's Toys (affiliated with Wheeler's) for the install; save myself the annoyance of angrily hurling wrenches through my garage walls.
