    Thats all you need for a front 3" lift, You will still need to lift the rear if you want to be level.

    Yes

    and

    Yes.

    **Make sure you ask for bushings for the 5100's, and maybe even the dust boots if your not using your old ones

    You will need an AAL if you want to be sitting level.

    You don't HAVE to have to though.... here's what my truck looked like after I installed the 5100s/eibachs before I lifted the rear. :eek:

    No, you'll get +3" of lift from the coils, and you might need more than an AAL.

    I think i got 3-3.5" of lift, and i needed 3" leafs

    Eibachs from Toytec
    5100's from DSM, last I heard they were on backorder though

    You also need a lift option for the rear, AAL, Complete leaf pack, lift shackle etc.
