    And that's why it pays to ask. Good point.
    Thanks!

    Three inch difference wheel hub to fender arch front to rear.
    Guess I can go 1.75 on the 5100s no problem and make a diff in the nose down attitude.

    Thanks again.

    3"!! Damn! You should go 2.5 and some UCAs. Depending what tires you have it could look alright.

    @Moondeath, yeah that is the best and the simplest way to install shocks and coilovers, I couldn't believe how siple it was, at first I was kind of skeptical but no more, thanks for sharing the information. I have a question if you don't mind answering for me, I installed a TSB 1.5" AAL and 5100's in front set at zero, how much of a lift should I have gotten from stock? The main reason for the install was a bottoming problem I was having. Thanks.

    So I was browsing through this thread for like the hundredth time and have a question.

    I set my billy's in the front to 2.5 and 1.5 AAL in rear. I started thinking about how to get just a little more lift and thought maybe the OME 885 coils. One of the posts in this thread said you can add OME 885's but you have to set the billy's to 0 or .85.

    So in short my question is what would the height difference be with this?

    Looking at Toytec I only see a 2" unless you have TSB. Can you get a 1.5 for non-TSB?

    No problem. Well, if your using stock springs and set the 5100's at 0 then no lift. Typically if setting at 0 and you want lift you have to use different springs. Something like OME.

    You can use 1.5". That's what I have. If you look closer at the description it says it can be used with non TSB.

    After a second look I noticed the non TSB note.
