    In reality it took me 4 hours for all for corners and I was being super careful and taking my time, torquing to spec, etc. I have since redone the rear and it took me half an hour per side.

    I am running billies all around with the 2.5" eibach springs 620# spring rate, and a wheelers 3 leaf in the rear. I think all in all I paid under 700 in parts and shipping. It's a bit stiff, but its perfectly level with my camper shell on. On that note - I may have read that I am using the wrong shocks in the rear. Does anyone know if it's ok to run 5100's with 2" lift in the rear? Someone was saying the 5100s are only good up to 1" lift in rear.

    Right now I'm on 285/75/16. Stock uca. No alignment issues. I'm raising the fronts to .85 and doing dakars in the rear this month. After that I'll have to check on how the alignment is again.

    Not to get off topic but what's better- block or AAL for rear in your opinion?
    I assume both would fuck your pinion angle up a bit.

    I had the same front setup with Dakar rls and billy 5100s in the rear. I thought it was too stiff. Driving over bridges on the highway was always white knuckle driving. Rear always kicked up and shifted to one side almost like fish tailing. Way too stiff.

    I was running 5100s in the rear with 1.5" block. It's A LOT harsher than stock. Changed it to a 1" block and rides quite a bit better.

    Running 885 with 5100s set at 0 if you're wondering about the front.

    $104 24-186728 5100 Series Rear Shock fits 2005 2023 Tacoma 4WD with 0-1" Lift - Monotube Design, Fade Free Performance, Optimal Performance
    24-186728 5100 Series
    2. 4wd/2wd Tacoma 6 Lug 05-15 2" PN-
    $112 33-230337 Monotube Shock Absorber, 46mm

    3. 4wd/2wd Tacoma 6 Lug 05-15 3-4" PN- RCD BE5-B110-T5 5100 Series

    These also work for 2016s. I've seen folks waiting for Bilstein to release shocks that will be 2016 specific, but 05-15 shocks will work perfectly fine.
