    For me it was $269 for the Bilsteins from Downsouth Motorsports, $349 for the Toytec Coilover kit (TN Group buy when they first came out) and $400 for the Light Racing UCAs (Toytec shaved $50 when I bought them with the coilover kit). I also bought the Front Differential drop kit ($29) and swaybar relocation brackets (I think they're included with the coilover now). So around $1050 plus labor costs. For labor, 4WheelParts charged me $300 to put the coilovers and UCAs on plus $119 for an alignment.

    +1 million. Save your coin and go with the coil overs FTW. Not only are the springs better but you will able to fine tune the suspension vertically and not to mention Left to Right to compensate for any "taco-lean" that you have. :)

    At the least planning 5100's all around with Toytec Front Adjustable Coil Over.

    Yes, most are for 1.75" and above. The front 5100s have 4 settings (0.00", 0.87", 1.75", and 2.5") Lifting the rear really depends on where you set the front and personal ride height preference. The rears are NOT ride height adjustable.

    Mine has the TSB upgrade which lifted the rear about 1". I also have the Toytec AAL for the TSB suspension but I haven't put them on yet. From what I read, it'll lift the rear another 1-1.5".
