2010 xe king cab 4 banger 2wd 5 speed overload leaf removal and lift in front

[Heavyfire14]

sup guys im new here. ive searched and cant find anything on removing the overload leaf.

so basically what I want to do is remove the overload leafs in the rear to drop it and give it a smoother ride (I don't tow... its a 4 banger) but I want to also put a 2.5" lift/leveling kit in the front to give it that cali prerunner type kinda look (I figure the leaf removal will drop it about an inch in the rear and theres 2" of rake from the factory so that would leave an inch of rake with the drop in the rear, so with the 2.5" lift in the front the front should end up being about 1.5" higher than the rear)

so I really wanna run this setup and cant find anything about the overload removal. I wanna run this with 31x10.50r15 bfg mudders. so what do u guys think? to ge a better picture with what im gunna end up with.. I have a silver king cab xe, 6000k HIDs I wanna do 2.5" lift front, remove the overloads in the rear, I wanna do 31x10.5r15 bfg mudders (white letters showing) on stock steel rims that I wanna paint flat black, and maybe 1.5" to 2" wheel spacers in the front. I would be amazed if anyone can find a pic of a similar setup because ive been looking for about 2 weeks now

First off, get rid of your HID's because all you're doing is being elmentary and blinding other drivers, secondly If you plan to EVER haul anything i would recommend using an overload leaf. Attached below is a picture of 2" lift in front and stock rear (2006 frontier 2.5l) . You should have no rubbing with stock wheels, 31's and 2" lift in the front.

the HIDs came on the truck, and if I do end up keeping them I want to do projecter housings... I jus got done lifting it right now and tomorrow my friend is supposed to be giving me some used 31x10.50r15 all terrians. as of right now I still wanna remove the overload cause it jus sits level and it looks like 31s will fit without the overload in the rear. and as of rite now im prolly jus gunna do 1.5" wheel spacers in the front too

hey not to be rude or anything but im curious, are you the guy on the forum that no one likes? ive been on alotta forums and there always seems to be "that guy".

[glamisdude72000]

^Haha, yea Zoom is "that guy"... But he means well You just need to take what he says with a grain of salt. Personally I don't mind him, he gives me a good laugh from time to time. He does have the capacity to be helpful though, so don't write him off just yet.

No offense to you Zoom, that's just seems to be the general census.

I shoulda got the 3" spacer lift... :/ still looks nice with 31s tho

it also needs black rims...

Any more than the 2.5" lift in front without aftermarket UCAs and you're gonna get brutal coil bucket contact clank if you don't have it already.
No prob with removing the rear overloads as long as you ARE NOT going to haul anything over 350lbs or tow ANYTHING cause you will put it on the bump stops and eventually blow a rear spring pack to h*ll and back.
Assuming you aren't going to do either of those things it will ride a bit better and will articulate much better off road. I've done it before, it's not really a big deal.
Won't be any trouble clearing the 31s in the back without the overload as long as you are running stock backspacing, stock Pro-4s come with 32s and plenty of clearance for 33s in the back.

I have 0 coil bucket contact and I rarely haul anything and when I do its usually a pitbike or a dirtbike or a light lil 450 quad so that shouldn't be a problem and since its a 2.5 I will Never tow anything (even in my f250 I never towed anything) so I think it will be fine... ill try it out and if I don't like how it rides/sits ill get the deaver half pack to replace it and get some cst spindles and pull out the spacers
