    Hello again, all. I have another quick question regarding my impending lift:

    Currently I'm going for the Eibach rear coils for a 1"-1.5" lift in the rear along with Wheeler's T1 coils for 2.5" in the front. However, I have completely forgotten to factor in that I have 3rd row seating in my SR5P, and I'm slightly concerned that due to the weight from those(around 100lbs, if I remember correctly), along with the steel skids I'll be installing that I may now end up with a slight negative rake instead of factory rake or leveled out.

    I've noticed that the Wheeler's T12s are advertised as 2.5'' for 2010+ and I'm wondering that with the added weight of the 3rd row and skids that it may be better to go with those instead to maintain some factory rake/leveling?

    This is just my opinion, the skids are pretty much centered, so that distributes the weight evenly. The third row seats are basically over the the rear wheels, and not hanging off of the rear of the vehicle like a steel bumper with a 33” tire on it. I think your good.
