    Got my Bilstein 5100 and Eibach springs installed a week ago (5100's set at "0") and i don't like the heigth so I've ordered a 1/4" spacer for the passengers side and I'm lookin for a 1/2" spacer for the drivers side..... where the hell do I get that?

    How much lift did you end up with ? I've read somewhere on here that doublecab 4x4's were getting only just over 1 1/2 "?

    Texastaco, what is the ride quality like on the truck with the new springs and Billies? I know you want a little more height, but, interested in performance of this setup?

    I'm on a phone so I can't post pics but look in my profile and gallery. I have everything you're talking about. I have 2.75" of lift and it rides and flexes as good or better than stock trd off road setup which is pretty good.
