We use a rear spring with 2" more lift in the rear to make the truck sit level. For your 2.5" lift, a 4.5 to 5" lift would sit fine. With the hangers, and shackles being mounted under the frame, you get about 2" of lift on the front. This has worked great for us in the past, with many customers using out springs for their SAS Tacos, AJ @ Bent Up, Grumpy, and a few others have had their trucks turn out level with this formula.. We are building a 2000 Xtra cab right now, and have a 01 Double cab here in the parking lot with a 3" front 5" rear combo sitting nice and level.Scretagent said:
Just wondering what aal your are running. I have been trying to get the right height out of my chevy springs after I removed the 2" block. So far I have added a leaf from a ford leaf pack, Which gave me a little lift, Maybe an inch or so. To help with the tuck I remove the overload spring. Chopped it down to the width of my spring perch replaced the center pin and reinstalled it. Also since I have installed the Cornfed shackles I have lost a little there. So now all together I have lost almost 3 inches With my flatbed it is not as noticeable but I would like to pick it up at least 2 inches from where it sits now.zszac111 said:
