    Hey all. Right now on my 2012 trd sport i am running bilstien 5100s all the way around, fronts set at .85 and the rear tsb.

    I am wanting a little more lift but worry that the 1.75 setting on the billies will be nose high.

    I have been looking at the OME 883s (1.25"?) and the Eibachs (1.6" of lift) and thought about running them with the bilstiens set at 0. I have also just considered adding a 1/4" spacer to give me another 1/2" of lift.

    What are your guys thoughts? OME, Eibachs (will these be too high?) or add the spacer?

    Also, if doing the OME or the Eibachs I will need to get a spacer for drivers side lean right?

    Comments and pictures are very much appreciated. Thanks.

    How much more do you want? Top plate spacers would be a simple and inexpensive solution for a little bit more lift (without ruining the ride quality).

    Another option- Body lift of 1". Just throwing out all the options. The 1/4 spacer sure would be the easiest- you can see my link on my spacer lift-I have been running a add a leaf I sourced from S-10 leaf pack from the rear- so you can do this real cheap. I have the TRD OR package so I like keeping my progressive front coil that already has the design for the lean. If you have the means $$ I think getting the OME spring would best.

    Yea I'm thinking I'll just do that. I'm lookin for a more level look, at .85 it's still significantly lower in front than back, but I've heard 1.75 can make it nose high. I am looking for the front to sit at 1.5ish

    Would 883s be nose high?

    887 might but I doubt 883 would.
