    Do extended 5100's flex and work with a drop bracket...and still lift up to 7.5" with some droop? Because PC coil overs don't droop for shit.

    You have to understand that none of the coil overs are intended to be set over 6". Every little bit you go over that you are the one causing the lack of droop amigo. The only way you can still have good droop and sit that high in the front is to buy a custom coil over.

    I understand that. It's that the coilovers even at stock height(straight/flat driveshafts) do not droop at all. I am understanding that this is just a characteristic of the PC coilovers. I think that at stock drop bracket ride height, the wheels should drop a couple inches when you put it up on a lift or jack it up, and they don't. Maybe it's the valving in the shock body? I don't know.

    I've had cars with full coilovers and when you jack it up or put it on a vehicle lift, the wheels stay tucked to the body.

    With a custom leaf pack to replace my blocks, what kind of droop could I get out of the stock pro comp shocks?

    My original setup was the RCD 5100's with toytec springs up front. The RCD shocks give you 5" of lift with stock springs. So if you add springs remember you'll basically loose 1" to get you back to 6" and whatever more you want to achieve. Here is the link to them and you'll need quantity 2. This is the only place me and @BORNWILDGUY know where to get them. http://cppdiesel.com/RCDF4-BE5-E122-T0/

    The rear was a progressive AAL pack and 2.5" block and kept my overload leaf. Somewhere around 4.5-5" of lift with Bilstein 5125's. Cant remember which length or ones I got. Pretty sure they where a 12" travel shock but, cant remember the collapsed and extended length.

    This setup worked great for me then I went to the Fox's and all the headaches started....

    Noooo...I don't think a 16" rim will clear the tie rod end on a PC kit. You have to run a 17" rim minimum with the DB kits.

    I have the opportunity to buy a used stage 1 fabtech 6 inch from a former Tacoma owner. He wants 600 obo for it. I really want to jump on this but want to make sure I get everything the kit came with. Any drawbacks on buying a used kit?
