I've seen pics in other threads where these kits are causing CV rub at full droop, I think I'll wait for a proper lift kit.

2022 Tremor AB, 402a, that I'm working on. Ordered on Oct6 and picked it up 2 weeks ago. Here's some axle pics at full droop with original factory specs (no lift), and some pics after minor mods.

Original Factory: front = 38.5" rear = 43.25" 4.75" rake

After 2" rear shackle drop: rear = 41.75" (1.5" drop)
Added Bilstein 5160 shocks to rear.

Added Nitto Recon Grapplers 295/70/18 front 39", rear 42.0"
The Nitto's are 34.29" tall and 11.77" wide. On original 18x7.5+34 rims. No rubbing anywhere. I like the bit of poke they add.

The Bilsteins seem to help with body roll and ride nice. Feels a little more planted and has better axle manners.. I think the shackle drop helped with this also. I was going to get the front Bilstein 6112s but I may leave the suspension as is for a while, cause I'm kinda liking this; and with only 420 miles on it to let it settle down. Bilstein dealer doesn't recommend the current 6112s because they haven't tested them on a Tremor but from what I see they should work, but just 1" lift at 2" height. I don't think these pics would change much with just another 1" lift.
The front axle pics are at full droop and show the clearance all around, with stock specs. The bigger pic of the axle looks like the boot touches but it does not, the boot is slightly behind the shock. Thought you guys might like this for a reference. The side view of the truck shows the 3" rake but it seems the bigger tires make it look a lot better.
Goal was to lift only enough to get some rake out and have the 34" tires on it. And still tow level. Might add the 6112s still, and Roadmaster AS.
I had Bilsteins on a previous Tacoma build and they were great, much sportier, nice ride, and planted. I tried the puck lift on it but it really stiffened the suspension (spring preload) and maybe some wheel travel was lost. Removed them to put on the Bilsteins.

Picked the truck up yesterday and drove it 700 miles home.
Had an appointment scheduled for this week to get it leveled and they called this morning saying they had an opening so I drove up and got it done!
Pro Comp 2.5”

Before:
Rear, 42.75
Front, 38.5
4.25” rake

After:
Rear, 42.75”
Front, 41.25”
1.5” rake

So net increase of 2.75” with the 2.5” level.
