    Alright. It is official, I purchased 5100's with OME 887 coilpacks and dakars and 5100's for the rear. Low-Range Offroad was great to deal with. Will post pics and thoughts after install.

    If you can, grab some pre-install hub-to-fender measurements and then follow up with after.

    You're going to be a lot happier with this than your original plan. What was the cost?

    $91 24-186728 5100 Series Shock Absorber
    24-186728) to go with these leaf packs?

    If you got the standard 5100s they pretty much sold you the wrong shocks (too short, they can work but do not pair well), if they sold you the 5125s those will produce a pretty harsh ride (I know from experience, compression on those makes for a stiff ride). If you got the 5125 you will likely need longer brake lines to accommodate for the extended length of the shocks.

    With the Dakars, did they tell you that you needed bushings for the one side of the packs?
    Did they supply you with the Carrier Bearing Drop as well?
    You got longer ubolts too right?

    You got the fronts assembled or no?

    Lol oh boy, just confirmed the rear bilsteins they sized me up with are for 1 to 3" of lift, bushings, bearings, u-bolt, and front assembled with tophat yes. This isn't the first taco I've risen from the ground, but low range deffinately had the best deal on the assenbled front 5100's with 887's

    Bilstein does not make 1-3" lift application rear shock for the Tacoma's.

    I never heard of Bilstein making rear lift/leveling shocks either. Long travel, sure. Rear lift comes from springs or blocks.
