    I have a 2011 DCSB 4x4. I`m going to do bilstein 5100`s on my truck. Not sure if Im going to reuse stock spring , use Eibach or OME springs.To get to 3" , looking at toytec , Top plate pacer $60. Plus a tacolean spacer on top of shock $22.99.
    Couldnt I just use a 1/2 in spacer and a 3/4 in spacer to correct taco lean and get me to 3in lift? also... would I use a 1/2in and 1/4 in spacer directly on top of each other to correct Taco lean ?

    No. I just installed this last Sunday. I installed the Bilstein/Eibach complete shock assembly w/toytec top spacer / top hat. Without spacer. Waiting for a few more days in case of settling. I did notice the shocks were labeled passenger and driver , so i assumed the "ToyTec spacers " we're made a bit different in height. Was Sunday so I couldn't call Toyec.

    not sure if the shock assembly has the top plate spacers installed but this is what the spacer setup should be:

    5100 w/ Eibach Coils
    1/2" Spacer (3/4" Lift) on DS
    1/4" Spacer (1/2" Lift) on PS

    Remember that these are top plate spacers and you DO NOT want to stack spacers.

    Check out my thread in the Suspension forum. I got my 3" lift and no lean. I did lots of research and majority went with the same spacer setup.
