New Member, running my suspension purchase by everyone.

1995.5/96 Tacoma 4x4 2.7L 4cyl (3rz?) 5spd, already running BFG KO2's 265/75R16. 203k miles.

I can't afford nice CO's at this time, but will definitely go that route on my next Yota. Leaning towards DR/Icon, but will research heavily when I get there in a couple years.

Already ordered Alcan Rear springs to 2.5" w 300lb rating.
Have a broken spring at classic spot near the bolt, so buying spring packs was already coming.

Doing Bilstein 5100's on rear. Getting from Wheelers as well as their ext brake line.

Up front, ht adj Bilstein 5100's w OME 881 coils, assembled by Wheeler's for the extra $94 that includes a few parts needed as well. Wheeler's told me this setup will net around 2" up front, which is fine by me, easier on the CV (have manual hubs, only lock
probably once every 2-3 months) and easier on alignment #'s. The guy kind of pushed me towards getting the 10mm "poly front lift enhancer kit"/spacers, but from all my reading I'm better just leaving it at the 2" with no spacer. This would make my rake 1/2" worse/more drastic. Any experience with how funny this would look? Thoughts?

Main concern is from reading, I'm leaning towards going ahead and installing the 3 degree axle shim, comments/thoughts on this are greatly appreciated.

This is my DD, most off road is related towards exploring small fire roads and getting to hard to reach camping spots. Moderate wheelin' at most. Want good ride with some 4x4 capability.

Don't hold back on this noob. I've read enough that I understand most of what is being said in suspension threads and last night started circling back on the same threads for noobs.
