    I know you are new to the forum, but you come a bit lazy wanting everyone to spoon feed and link you each and every item they recommend. Why not call Marie like Billly suggested?

    alright, just seems like more time is wasted the way you are going about it. Good luck with the build, hope you find what you are looking for

    I have this kit on my '99 Prerunner and I like it very much. I have the front shocks set all the way up at 3 inches and its a little stiffer of a ride but it is not too bad. I running 33's and only get slight rubbing when I make a really sharp u-turn. If you set it to 2.5 inches it should be a good amount smoother and you'll still be able to fit 33's if you're just doing minor trails. I've taken my lift on some intermediate trails and it works great.

    The 1st Gen 5100's have three settings...0", 1.25, and 2.5". The 1.25 and 2.5 should only be run with stock coils.

    The eibach lift coils that you listed is what should give you your lift not the shocks in that matter. You should not be preloading a LIFT coil or bad things can happen.

    3" lift kit with Eibach front coils (3" average lift is achieved with coils and setting the shock adjustment on the bottom C clip setting) DO NOT EXCEED THIS SETTING OR DAMAGE CAN OCCUR!....this quote is listed right in the manufacture item description.

    Yeah that's what I meant lol. I have it set at the bottom setting to give me about 3 inches with the Eibach coils, but since I have it set at the max setting its a bit stiff due to the coils

    I have an 03 4x4 5 speed with the 2.7, and I ran half tread 285/75/16 baja claws with no lift and 1.5" wheel spacers. The 285s decreased the power tremendously and I do not recommend them. I bought new 265/75/16 bfg a/t2s and they were the same height as the half treasure but allows the truck to go very similar to the stock 265/70/16s. I know these aren't either of the tires you were looking at, but the gives you how the size comparison of what goes better.

    I've heard that setting the bilstein 5100s at 2.5 will make the ride really rough and cause vibration. Is this true? If so, how to I fix/avoid it?

    Fox 2.5’s up front, icon 2.0 rear shocks, stock leafs, !Meso map and dome lights make all the difference in the world!
    Honestly man, I just got a pare of stock coils u known miles on the coils and used 5100's 15k miles on them honestly these ride so much better than my stock set up and the "really rough" ride isn't noticeable for me at least and the stiffer shock is nice when I turn hard into a gass station or big dip it's actually very nice
