    Thanks man. How about ride quality? It is a daily driver, but there are a lot of old gravel roads and trails here in nw Tennessee. I want best all around.

    Are you a v6? I have a double cab v6 4x4 and it felt fine for me, but im mainly on city streets. felt even better after I removed my sway bar.

    Also, If I do decide to just go with stock coils, would I be better off buying new ones from moog? The current ones do have 240,000 miles.....and no I'm a2.7 4 banger.

    I can't really tell you how a 4banger would ride. Perhaps wait for someone with one to reply.

    I would get 880/881 ome springs or new toyota springs. They will be much better quality than moog. I do not recommend eibachs with the 2.7. I had a fully armored 2.7 xtra cab and they gave me like 4+" of lift and rode like bricks even with no sway bar.

    I Appreciate it. I think I'm going to go with the ebiachs as when I left the front 2.5" now it only makes it level. The 3 inch looks better!

    They are going to ride like junk. If you want some lift get 881s on the 5100s. I got probably 2" of lift with 881s on 5100s. If you use aftermarket springs the 5100s should be on the lowest setting.

    What set up in the front do you have? I have a 04 DCSB V6 4x4 with Bilsteins set at 0 and Eibachb3" coils. I'm debating on whether or not to take the sway bar off or not

    Try it off for a day and you won't put it back on. It was a night and day difference for me. Swapping from eibachs to 881s also made a large difference in ride quality(much better)

    Would 882 work on the 5100s? They're tall coils but less weigh m
    Same setup. 5100s/eibach set at 0. I removed the sway bar not too long ago maybe about 2 weeks and it felt so much better. Then I added the same trail gear bumper you have and it feels even better. I do notice the body roll, but its not major. I plan on upgrading my rear leafs one day and that should help with body roll. But right now pretty much same thing you have in the front exactly with wheelers progressive 1.5in and overload left in for the rear.

    Remove the sway bar and see how you like it. I like it a lot better. Havent gotten a chance to test it out offroad yet, but hopefully this weekend.

    Add some weight up front, it'll help the ride a bit. With my bumper that I put on makes the ride a bit better, I'm sure a winch would help to. But regardless I'm upgrading sometime next year to coil-overs

    Question. Do we need to get new bumpstops with the 5100/eibach coils? Im still on the stock bumpstops. None of the kits had it listed as parts and there was nothing mentioning it in the descriptions so I never bought them.
