    I just ordered the adjustable 5100s for the front, and fixed rear 5100s. I also decided to go with a 2inch AAL all from ToyTech. My 05 TRD has about 90,000 miles on it, so should I replace the coils also? I was planning on setting the front 5100s on 1.75 just because I dont want to have to have the potential for needing new UCAs. I was also going to get the new bushing and washer kit, figured I may as well change them out while im in there. Basically I just want to spend as little as possible, but make sure I get what I need... am I forgetting anything? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    if you don't plan on adding any heavy front armor bumper then your stock coils should be fine. they normally won't sag if any at the age. everything sounds like a good plan to me. don't forget to do an alignment after they're installed.

    ^ Agreed.

    Some people need the 3 degree axle shim kit when they put in the AAL, some don't. You'll know if you get the 60MPH+ vibes that you'll need the shims.

    Would it be a bad idea to just do the shim kit while i have everything apart?
