    Hey all, I need a little help from the collective here...

    I found a SCREAMING deal on a front lift local and I'll be replacing my existing 2" spacer lift with a legit set up (I know, its long overdue). I'm snagging a set of Bilstein 5100s (Part No. 24-239370) and a set of Eibach Springs (Part No. 112-620)

    So I have two questions:

    1.) What should I set the pared Eibach & 5100s at to get about 2.5" to 3" of lift on the front end?

    and

    2.) I have the TSB AAL and currently, my truck sits about level with the 2" spacer up front. After the Eibach & 5100s install, what is my best option to get the ass end level once more? I'm guessing I'll need another 1.5" or so in the back to level her out? Should I go with another AAL or just a block? Good old Toytec has so many options for Rear Lifts...

    The extent of my off roading is dirt roads and the occasional logging trail, nothing hard core. I would also like to do the install myself, if possible.

    I appreciate the guidance and help!

    Or even rock a set of 5100s on the rear too maybe?

    Just looking for 2" - 3" of lift and for her to sit level.

    - Digital Fit WeatherTechs - OME 885x Coils w/ Bilstein 5100's @ 0" - Rear Bilstein 5100's with ToyTec 2" AAL

    I went with 5100s up front with OME 885s up front. After they settled out I ended up with 2 1/2" up front. For the rear I went cheap "just for now" and put Toytec's 2" AAL, those were a little stiff for the rear compared to my front setup but they worked and I have no complaints. If you want to check out my setup let me know.

    Update:

    Everything is on order or in house ready for install. The used set of 5100s and Eibach springs are going to be set @ .85 and I scored a set of top hats, bushings, and all the needed hardware to preassemble for an easy swap. Should be sitting at 2.5 in the front.

    I just ordered the single Toytec 1.5 to 2 inch add a leaf to start with. I'm reading that it should work nicely with the TSB pack.

    Finally after the lift install, I'll get a new set of rubbers... Anyone have a hookup for a deal on some 285s :)

    Thanks again for all the help fellas, there is almost too much info out there!

    Finished the install (finally) this weekend. I also snagged a set of 5100s for the rear while I was at it.

    Here is how she sits
