    ok i was just curious. i had billies on my 12' single cab with stock springs and the ride quality was way better than stock. I have billies and 885s on my 14 now and it just seems to be kind of rough. it doesn't help that the roads in Louisiana suck.

    And this setup does flex and is a nice ride on and off road.

    It shouldn't ride rough really.. Are the billies at 0 ? Are the springs installed correctly?

    Anyone know what adjustment to be at if you are trying to get 3" of lift with 5100's and stock coils?

    That is the kit with 885'S. Billies set at 0 and 885's will give you 2 1/2 inches and it will ride great. Much much better than stock.

    This is the kit I have.

    This is the kit installed from @HeadStrong Off-Road. 5100 in front and rear with the 885 coils and single add a leaf to the new TSB recall replacement leaf pack from Toyota. Huge ride improvement! I also installed the .5 inch spacer which eliminates driver side lean. I would suggest the coil pre assembly for an extra $90 so you don't have to compress the springs yourself or bring them to a shop. It saves you some serious time on install. Keep in mind I also have about 200-250 lbs of weight in the back as well.

    I did the EXACT setup from @HeadStrong Off-Road as well. Completely happy! I considered the leaf pack but ended up with the single AAL after talking with Marie. Exactly the stance I wanted even with running the cap. This pic is with an empty bed.
