    Ok so someone see if the numbers I am figuring out would work. I don't really care what people think about the brands of the products I am using. Just trying to figure out if it would work. Its a 2009 Double Cab 4x4. I also do not want any body lifts.
    6 inch lift kit (Probably Rough Country)
    Front:
    5100s (2 inches of lift?) with Old Man Emu heavy duty springs (for steel plate bumper)
    Back:
    Old Man Emu Helper springs (2.25" of lift) OR Toytec Add a leaf (1.5" of lift)

    It seems like it should work I just don't know if its possible to achieve anywhere close to 8 inches of lift.

    Stacking lifts is never a great idea but I guess it will work... Make sure the 5100's are set at 0 if your using aftermarket springs. Those will do the lifting for you.

    If you do decide to go with a 6" lift, i would stay away from Rough Country.

    Like said above if what your after is lift height, bulletproof would be the way to go.

    That will not work, 6 inch Rough Country only drops differential around 3 inches, so with that lift and an additional 2 inches you would have no downtravel, CV joints, ball joints, tie rods all would be at too much angle. You would have a rough time getting alignment right also. Basically I would not recommend going that route.
