    I don't think they will work with bilsteins or OME unless you have the adjustable Coilover setup, Both ends of those coils are flat.

    Intake, exhaust, lift. Typical stuff.
    5100's are 2.0" and these need 2.5", so no, they wont fit. These will fit on 2.5" coilovers in the case you are running a very heavy front end as Jason mentioned.

    Jason, good catch on the length, just saw "prerunner" and assumed LT... :eek:

    ^Correct. Won't work with bilsteins. Billy's use a spring seat designed for factory springs.
    What are you trying to accomplish with new springs?

    Would have been really confusing if the word "bro" was cleverly placed in the add.

    so this is more of what i need?

    I just put a procomp stiff AAL on the back and i love the feel of it (quick snappy tail whip action) but the front at full height on the 5100s sits too low and is way to divey on quick turns.. it just doesnt feel right, doesnt sit right, doesnt look right..

    here how it looks now: with the 2in AAl and the front set at max height on the 5100s.

    No those still won't work. They have a flat spring top and bottom designed to fit flush on adjustable coilovers.
    Honestly if you're looking for something on a budget and not beating on your truck, just do a 1/4" top plate spacer such as this:

    http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/Front-Top-Plate-Spacer-One--14_p_351.html

    Eric at Relentless can probably cut you out some too.

    That's what I put on my tundra + billy's and it leveled out with the AAL perfectly.
    At 3" lift tho, I would definitely suggest a diff drop. They actually do work on first gen trucks.

    i actually have a diff drop kit but its not installed yet.. as you can see with the pic i posted above it sits 2 inches higher in back than in front(measured at wheel well).. i dont think i got much more than an inch when i set the front at full height on the 5100s :/ maybe my springs are shot? Also I do go pretty hard on my truck but i dont want to drop 500+ on coilovers, so some coil springs with increased spring rate is what im looking for.

    seems like i should go with these:
    http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/ToytecEibach-front-coil-lift-springs_p_14.html

    however people always say how nice they ride, and im not really looking for a comfort spring..

    Gotcha, that makes sense. Contrary to popular belief, springs are consumables. They do have a life span especially when pushed to limits.

    Short of getting new coilovers, the toytec springs are probably going to be your best bang for the buck. Just make sure to set the spring seats on the billy's to the lowest setting. Keep in mind that 620# spring rate is still on the high side for a first gen without bumpers/skids. It likely will feel pretty stiff until you get some weight up front. Even more so if your truck is a prerunner.

    Since you have a bunch of people around you with stock skids I won't bother with the quote. Let me know if it falls through and I'll get you that quote.

    Dipped into my savings and picked up a new set of Duratracs and new head unit.
    I've only had the Wranglers for about a week and so far they feel great! Great traction on wet pavement and minimal road noise. The head unit is a Kenwood KDC-X598 hooked up to a 10 inch MTX with an old 750W Jenson amp i've had in my closet for years. SOunds wayyyy better then the factory stereo. I'll post pics of the finished work soon

    Then they would only be compatible with flat bill hats or monster sticker. For best results, you need both :bananadead:
    That would give 3" and you'll need an extra inch in the rear to be flat. You will also want to get some bigger tires. 265's look silly on a 3" lift :p

    If you want a level look, I think the Old Man Emu 881 coils give 1.5-2" lift. Not too much for stock tires.
