    exhaust, k&n intake, painted stock rims, TRD
    My current set up(about 2.5"-3" lift):
    Front-5100's set at lowest setting with eibach coils
    Rear-5100's with 1" aal
    265/75/16's

    -The goal here is to get back to stock ride height

    1st. Up front- I was wondering if 5100's set at the lowest setting with stock coils would give any lift up front or if it would be at or around stock ride height.
    2nd. Rear- would 5100's and a stock leaf set-up produce any lift, or would it be at stock ride height?
    3rd. If i were to try and get rid of my eibachs, what would a fair trade be? I would be looking for a leaf pack and potentially oem cv's

    Rear diff breather mod, Billy 5100 shocks. eibach coils at 2.5" front lift, Icon progressive AAL 2" rear lift, hypertech 730117 speedo corrector, cmc
    If you put the stock coils on your 5100 front shocks on lowest groove, it will put it back to stock height no lift.

    Same when you go back to oem leaf spring setup for the rear by taking out the 1" AAL. The rear 5100 shocks don't provide any lift, so it'll just give better dampening.

    Depending on how old your Eibachs are, you may get $50-70 for 'em? If you could put the stock shocks back on the truck and leave the Eibach coils on the 5100 shocks as a combo then it would probably be easier to sell.

    Thanks for the info. The stock shocks had over 150,000 miles on em so I wouldnt want to do that. Id be looking to trade the eibachs for a stock leaf set up for the rear. And would you know if I could run 265/75/16's with stock suspension set-up without any rubbing/problems?

    I'll be removing my stock struts in the next week or so and selling everything you need for a stock front set-up except for the old shocks. Springs, strut mounts, bushings and washers-all OEM from 2000 Tacoma 4X4 ext. cab V-6.

    At this point I've got everything I need except for a stock leaf pack for the rear(preferably used). Problem is, I am just looking to trade my Eibach coils and maybe a little bit of cash for the leaf pack, which would mean when I lower my truck, I would need to perform the trade in the same day
