Wink Lifting my 1997 toyota t100! need opinions asap!

Hey Y'all

ive ordered a set of Sdori balljoint spacers few weeks ago, i just had them installed- i am going through a small dilemma. i called several off road shops about my situation.

i need to lift the rear to level out- from what ive read, blocks is out of picture as it ll warp the axle. so im left with two options- bigger shackles or add a leaf.

i have used the search button and i havent gotten a direct answer. where can i locate these parts to make it work?

Deaver makes a progressive (read 3 leaf pack that replaces the overload leaf) leaf pack that lifts 1.5". its for the 1st gen tundra but it will fit a T100. Get that and some longer shackles and your set.

Its under "Deaver Racing 1.5" Lift Progressive Add A Leaf Kit: 209.00 Replaces factory overload with a 3 leaf progressive add a leaf kit. Includes U-bolts."

Yes you can, but personally I would run both a longer shackle and a leaf pack so it flexs better.

All you need to run 33's is a 3" suspension lift and properly backspaced wheels.
