    I went with Toytec 1" lift shackles for this reason, I always have my tool boxes in the bed and occasionally I run my cap and have sandbags in the bed during the winter as well. This helps me keep my truck level with maybe a slight rake when loaded down.

    Just got my billy's from Downsouth, just waiting on the Eibach's from Toytec...Can't wait to install these bad boys!

    Now is this the correct setting(0") for running the Eibach coils?

    ^ My bad I didnt realize this was 1st gens. The eibachs give more lift on 1st gens so Im pretty sure its zero setting on 5100s

    No, w/ the eibach coils you need to run them on the lowest notch (0'' lift).

    hey guys, im in the middle of figuring out what I want to do for a lift in my 2000 taco. ideally I want to run the allpro expedition leafs so the truck can still handle some weight in the back. Those will give me 4" of lift in the rear...I was going to do 5100s in the front with toytec springs, but I want the truck to be level. The max lift I can get out of the 5100/toytec is 3.25" correct?

    Any suggestions?

    You will probably have to deal with the rake, or just keep weight in the bed.

    Is it possible to add a leveling kit to the front of the truck along with the billy/toytec kit?

    Because I want those 4" all pro leafs but I don't want rake cause my box is empty most of the time. I just don't know what I should do for the front end to make this happen.

    Alright well thats out then. What would you recommend for leafs? the 2.25" dakkars or the 3" allpros? Will either of them carry more weight than another, and how much should I lift up the back end if I want the front level with 5100/toytecs?

    I will probably just go with the regular 3" allpro leafs and 5150's since i dont tow any and dont have a cap, all i carry is my toolbox and a spare so i shouldnt need the extra 200lb capacity...if your in the same boat then i think you would be fine with the regulars as well

    No not with 3-4" of lift you will need to get the leafs and then measure the collapsed lenght from each shock eye to eye and then the extended lenght and buy your shock length accordingly...most likely will be about 10.5" travel 5125's or 5150's just taqke your pick really the only advantage of the 50's is the external reservoir for better cooling offroad which will prbably be a bit over kill for me but they look more BA than the others lol
