1/2" - 1" Rear Lift on 3rd Gen

Looking for a very mild rear lift to match my Bilstein 6112s up front (on 4/3 clip settings), so that I can maintain even lift or even a very a small rake. Options I've identified:

1) 1" rear block.
2) Single AAL with overload removed (no idea how much lift this will really give though)

I would prefer an even smaller block or shim in the rear. I haven't been able to find anything less than 1/2" Anyone have recommendations?

 

Just came across these 1/2" shims from Toytec. I assume these will fit a 3rd gen?

 

Yep, since the leaf packs are interchangeable between 2nd and 3rd Gens

 

Are you level now?

 

The rear is a tad lower, but with any sort of weight, is noticeably lower. Just looking for a simple solution that doesn't exceed factory rake. 1/2"- 1" will do the trick. May just end up going with the 1" blocks to be honest - doubt it will compromise anything.

 

How long have you had it in? The springs may settle just a bit. Everything I've read seems to indicate the Bilstein reference chart is pretty accurate for the lift amounts for each clip setting.

I think blocks 1in and smaller are fine if you need it though.

 

I ended up ordering a set of Low Range Offroad 1" blocks with the 1 degree taper. May have a bit of a rake still given my 6112s set at 4/3, which I am fine with honestly. Will post pics after I install them.

Did you ever install these blocks?

 

has anyone used the toytec 1/2" shim in the rear, results?

 

Interested too.

I will install 5100 front with 1 inch lift only and want to retain rake.. I would need only 1/2 spacer.. no hardcore off road.. gust want slight lift.

 

Before I did my Eibach lift, I had a 1" lift in front with the 1/2" Toytec shims in the rear. Worked out pretty well with the rear being exactly 1" taller than the front.

 

I have Bilsteins in front and a 1 inch block in back and have approximately 1 inch higher rear to front rake just like I like it.

 

What setting did you end up using on the Bilateins? I’m thinking of going this same route.

 

I had a shop do it I think they told me it was in the third slot with the 1 inch lift in the rear. Is there a way I can check that if I go looking under front of truck?

 

Did you need longer U-Bolts for the back?

If so, what’d you use?
