Help me decide coilovers

I'm looking for some coil overs for my 05 tacoma. I currently have 5100's set at 2.5. Last night I removed one in an attempt to lower the setting to 1.75 and they were so rusted after only 3 years that I wasn't able to remove the circlip.

I am not sure if I want to go the bilstein route again because of this.

I am looking for 1.5"-2" of lift and am hoping to get some coils and shocks that will ride much nicer than my trd off road coils with 5100's.

 

sorry I didnt have all the details in my first post.

 

Goals/needs/wants for the truck? fire roads? Hunting spots? Mall crawling?

 

Icons brah.

 

I'm looking at keeping it under $500 and mostly just trying to return to stock driving characteristics. I wont be offroading unless needed to. I live in Manitoba and the roads get bad in winter, when I go snowmobiling I do need to get into some tough spots sometimes.

I put 5100's on at 2.5" to get a big enough lift to fit 285 mud tires, decided that I was over the looks and want a better ride. Bought some 265 dynapro atm's and want to lower the truck down.

The trd off road coils with 5100's are pretty crappy ride to say the least. Looking for something smoother over little bumps in the road.

I am thinking about the eibach 1.6" springs and some gas shocks. Or possibly some adjustable coils.

 

This.

 

I am aware, but apparently even at 1.75 with trd progressive coils it wont be great.

 

Why not get some eibach coils and crank the setting down to zero

 

As I mentioned in my first post my billies are so corroded already that I cant move the circlip, its pretty much bonded itself to the shock. I dont want to risk moving them.

 

Or, if the OP wants to go the aftermarket route, OMEs with 884s since he's an AC looking for 2" max.

 

Wow my 1.75 setting rides amazing so I have no idea why you say it would suck.

 

With OME nitro shocks and 884's would I not get about 2.5" lift? I would like to go lower than that, my alignment isnt perfect right now and I would prefer less darting on the highway without having to get UCA's

Is there any opinions on these shocks or OME nitro shocks

Paired with Eibach 1.6" coils?

 

I was wondering which one of us was gonna say it first..

The link is for ironman shocks

 

FOX IFP 2.0 FTW. check my post history for a review if you are interested. i love them.

 

Is yours a trd off road? they have progressive coils that get stiff, I havent had mine set at 1.75 yet as I cannot change them. I'm just basing this off of what others have said.

 

Yes I was asking about the Ironmans OR the OME's

 

I like the fox, but they are a little out of my budget.

 

Yes, but that doesnt help me, I cannot adjust my current 5100's and Im looking for alternatives to 5100's. So I am not really considering trd sport shocks with 5100's.

 

That doesn't help me get 1.5"-2" of lift. :S

 

Mine is a TRD Sport
