    As I posted before I removed the lift spacers and added billies w/ eibach coils and toytec 1/2" top plates.I put on FJ wheels I picked up for $300 (all 5 with TPM's) and 285/70/17 BFD km-2's.I also got the body armor side steps. I think they look cool........They were heavier than I thought they would be.
    What do you guys and gals think of my turd.

    Next is the Body armor rear bumper and winch bumper from Tactical armor group.

    Where does it end? HAHAHA!!!

    After getting the brushguard I ordered the Westin winch tray and mounted the brushguard to the winch tray.

    At this time YES lol hits the front bucket thing on the front of wheel well. Today I am going to try the tires w/out the 1.25" spacers and see what happens. I don't want to do any trimming just yet, I want to see if I like the bigger tires. The bfg km2's are a bit loud but then again they don't have much tread left...I only fot them as a test tire.

    Ok I took off the 1.25" spacers and at full lock left or right forward or reverse ZERO hitting and zero trimming was done. I am happy.

    So you have eibachs and 5100s. Are they set at 0 or .85?
    Thinking of getting eibachs and setting the 5100's at 0.

    stock
    I plan on getting a brushguard and winch setup on my 15 tacoma. It's currently stock. My mind is currently set on the eibach coils and 5100's set at 0. After I add everything do you think my truck will sit somewhat level after the coils and shocks is installed? I don't intend to lift the back and it's sitting 1 3/4" higher than the front. I just don't know how much the front will sag after the winch and brushguard is installed. I don't mind factory rake or less. I really don't want more rake if possible. Someone mentioned 885 coils with the 5100's but that will put me lifting the back a little because if I don't it will sit nose high.
