    -Bilstein 5100's all around, OME 885's, Toytec 2inch AAL, Toytec 1/2 top spacer -265/75/16 General Grabber AT2 Tires -Gibson Exhaust -K&N Intake -Front lightbar with KC Off-Roaders -Throttle Body Spacer -Wires and plugs -Stereo
    I just ordered this setup for my 05' TRD off-road v-6 double cab. Should I have gone with 885's instead of 884's (no heavy bumper or added weight). I'm doing a 2 inch Toytec AAL in the rear with 5100's all around. I have a 3 inch Revtek spacer/block lift now. I would like my truck to sit a little higher with the new lift. What do I have to set my front at to sit level with the back. Was glad to find this thread b/c everyone sounds very knowledgable about this topic. Thanks everyone.

    5100's up front set to 1.75, SCS Stealth 6 wheels, Nitto Terra Grappler AT's
    OP when you put your 5100's on at the 1.75 setting with stock coils did you still have the problem of not being able to tighten the top screw down because the shaft seemed to long? My truck is in the shop right now and they have assembled mine more than once but the bolt on the top of the shaft can't be tightened. I'm currently in a holding mood cause I don't and they don't really know what to do. From factory there is a washer, then the top plate, then rubber boot, then washer, then screw. Should I need to add anything or am I missing something? They said those were the parts that came off and what went back on. The top sleeve is also on the shock. This is the thread I started if anyone can help me....
