    If you have a 4x2 I would suggest getting Camburg Spindles. Those spindles will put you at a 4" lift and it won't sacrifice ride quality.

    Other than that, you can't really add more lift...

    Do you have a body lift or a suspension lift?

    You must be running a 2.5" lift, not a 3". A simple coilover can give you a little more lift if you like.

    so do u have 5100's plus the 1/4" spacer or 5100's plus OME coils, or just the 5100's? they only give 2.5" by themselves

    You should get some pics up so we can better understand what you have going on.

    You should definatly get the spindles when you get the cash!!!

    Yes definitely get some pictures up. Would help to know exactly what your running so you can be best advised. I would say add the Toytec Coilover kit for the 5100's. Cheaper than spindles. Do you have a lift in the rear also?

    Oh yea welcome to TW!
