    I will say that i was nervous about going the full 4 inches. Ive got a carport thats pretty low and i still wanted to fit. Well, its turns out i still have plenty of room and now Im actually looking to get a little more lift!!!

    How will the ride quality be from stock coils with bilsteins on "0" to "0.85"?

    I've read that the ride quality of 5100's on 0 is better than stock. I would imagine .85 isn't bad but you are compressing the spring to get the lift so it would be a little stiffer.

    I've got a chance to get 2016 TRD OR front shock and coil assemblies from a local member for an incredible deal.....

    Thanks for the input yall.

    Are you ever going to want to go higher than what the '16 struts & spindles will give you? Basically about 5"

    I'm thinking at 5inches up front I will be where I want to be.

    Just looking for a bit better ride quality than my stock SR5 struts give me.

    Would the 2016 TRD OR front assemblies ride better than 5100's set at zero on stock coils??

    I know it's kinda subjective to the driver, but still inquiring lol

    I am under the impression that the 5100's and the 4600's are roughly the same ride quality.

    I couldn't tell you if they ride better than 5100's but the guy in you thread seem to think they're kinda stiff.

    Sup Chad? Tit for tat. Save your money and get the good stuff. You prob won't notice a difference in ride quality. I personally don't like the any of the stock coilovers setups, let alone used suspension parts. Just my 2cents.

    haha!!! Nah, unfortunately. I dont really see the need for me to cut up the bedsides and all that. Just a Brute Force Standard rear bumper. It will be way way waaaaaaaaaaay more clearance that my stock one though. Its got the tow hitch and pin relocated behind the plate.

    5100s with your stock coils would be a better option and they don't cost that much. Although I went straight to icons so I can't personally comment on ride quality. I do have a buddy with that setup at 0 and he claims it's nice.
