specifically these?

seems like a deal i should jump on..

 

Yeah, they will fit fine.

However, you can get 4 new ones for about that price from a Toytec, Wheeler's etc...won't come with coils, but doubt you need those.

 

Should be the same.

 

If both are 6 lugs. then yes

 

Since you guys seem to have experience with Bilstein 5100's,
would yall suggest setting them to .85" and adding 1/2" top plate spacers because that would be softer than setting the 5100's to 1.75" which would preload my linear TRD Sport springs more and possibly make it a rougher ride?
Trying to make sense of this, not sure about the geometry involved. If the springs are linear then does it matter if they're preloaded any more or less?
I'm trying to keep my ride nice and soft. But also wouldn't mind saving the $65 for the top plate spacers.

 

Which do you think with be softer while using my stock TRD Sport Linear Coil Springs:
-5100 set at .85" with the top plate spacers

-5100 set at 1.75" without top plate spacers

My rear non TSB leafs are really dead, will this add a leaf bring back some support?

Will the rear be taller than the front with the way I plan to set up the front?
Will the rear 5100's be long enough for the additional travel this add a leaf will contribute? or should I consider the 5125's?
Will I need:
-Extended Break Lines,
-Longer U-Bolts,
-or a Longer Leaf Spring Center Pin?

This build has to be completed the day I begin it, so I wan't to make sure I have all the components. I cannot be without my truck as I need it for work.

 

1.75" setting on sport springs really isn't bad. The offroad springs would be more noticeable.

If your rear leafs are worn, you'd be better off replacing them. An AAL would change the height, but it's kind of a band aid if the springs are shot. Also, my experience with single AALs is they are a rough ride. I had a 1.5" AAL and it was uncomfortable.

 

Get a new rear leaf pack with some fox shocks

 

I had mine set at 1.75" way better ride than stock
