    Your stock springs are coil springs. It's going to ride a little stiffer, but in a good way. Running an aftermarket spring with lift built into it will let you run the 5100's in front at zero for no pre load and a better ride.

    Bilstein 5100's on all four corners. Front set @ 0 with OME 883x coils. Alcon leaf springs. Viper Alarm. Wet Okole seat covers. WeatherTech Floor liners front and back. Oem Toyota chrome exhaust tip. ARE Shell. America Outlaw Wheels.
    What year is your truck and is it a 4x4 or prerunner ? Dos it have the 2+1 or 3+1 leafs ? Mine is a 2011 prerunner with the 2+1 leafs and I went with the 5100 set at 0 and the OME 883's and it is level . The ride is awesome . Definitely do the spacer for the driver side lean .
