    I'm thinking about doing a 1.5" - 2.0" Bilstien lift on my wife's 4Runner. I have a call in with Headstrong off road for the parts.

    I'm taking suggestions, but I'm thinking a set of adjustable 5100's front and 5100's rear with stock springs. I don't, however, think that will adjust my rear ride height at all, and I'd rather have a tiny bit of rake because of towing occasionally, so maybe better rear springs? I'd like to keep the ride very close to stock. I'm probably best just going OME springs front and back w/ the 5100's.

    That's pretty much what I'm going for Juan, where did you buy the 884's and spacers? What did that all run you?

    I got the 5100s and 884s from Total automotive Performance use code T4R to get a discount and includes free shipping. Rear spacer from Cornfed. It was around $650.

    Ok here's what I'm thinking, I appreciate comments as I'm a noob.

    Objective: Stock like ride, road trips, mild wheeling, light weight setup.
    Future mods: Skids (lightweight), Sliders, Lo Profile Bumper (70 lbs) and Synthetic line winch (60lbs) in front.

    Fronts: OME 884's Light duty coils - 2" lift w/ Adjustable Bilstein 5100's
    Rear: ToyTec Superflex 2" rear coils w/ Bilstein 5100's

    I'm not thinking I need UCAs for this setup.

    That sounds like a solid choice. If the front goes down too far with the added weight the. You can bump the 5100s up one notch to compensate. You shouldn't need new UCAs on it, but be ready to buy some if they can get your steering in check.

    Brake line extensions or any other considerations needed?
