    Yep. That's what I'm doing. I installed ToyTec coilovers and 5100s in the front, but haven't installed the rear 5100s or the AAL I bought.

    Yeah - they are stock, but I had the rear TSB done. So that lifted the back end almost an entire inch.

    So, they are stock, but not really "stock"... :)

    Sure you can. Just don't go over 3" in the front.

    How high are you lifting the rear?

    Just noticed you have an '01. I don't know about them, but the rear of mine was almost 3" higher than the front (after the rear TSB). So, lifting the front brought it just about level.
