    I was just wondering if anyone had bilsteins set at .85 with a 1'' rear block. I am wanting to keep some rake, I know this will add a little more rake than factory. I pull a trailer periodically and I don't like it sagging to much. I am just not a fan of the nose high look at anytime. Just want to see what it would look like. If anyone has done this and has pics please post them. Thanks

    I haven't had that setup exactly, but I have a roughly 3" lift that maintained a close to factory rake if not a touch more. I too, prefer my trucks this way.

    I think it would look fine the way you are thinking of doing it.

    Bilstein 5100 at .85 with Eibach coils up front. In the rear it is Bilstein 5100's with a full OME Dakar leaf pack.

    Didn't think the 5100's gave that much lift.

    The Eibach coils provide most of the lift. Themselves they lift an average of 1.6", the 5100's are on the perch that lifts an average of .85 and I have the spacer on the driver side coil over to balance out the Tacoma's tendency to lean towards the driver. In all I am lift somewhere above 2.5" but less than 3" in the front. The rear is lift about the same with the OME spring pack(which does all of the lifting).

    EDIT: just realized that you have a third gen, so the lift Numbers may be different for these parts.
