    Probably about 75% of the 1st Gen crowd on tw runs this or something very similar. With no weight in the front (bumper, winch,etc) the springs are really stiff (620#) pretty jolting when riding off road or over bumps. There is a thread dedicated to this specific set-up. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/bilstein-5100-eibach-gallery.176037/ <<<pic heavy, for your price range that your looking at I would recommend taking a look at the 5100's paired with some OME lift coils. The spring rate is much softer depending on your application (881 or 880) good luck on your hunt :)
