    Hello all! I'm new to TW and have a quick question. I've got a 2007 TRD OR Access Cab Prerunner. I've only upgraded the wheels and tires(For now). I want to upgrade to 5100's on all four corners and either put in 883 or 884 OME coils. I want to level out the front but id be more than ok with slight bro lean. I don't plan on putting any aftermarket bumpers or winches. I have the TSB 4 leaf pack in the rear. Which coils shoud I go with?

    I've been reading a lot about this simple yet effective upgrade but everybody seems to have varying opinions and results.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I was planning on getting 5100's all the way around to improve ride quality, so I might as well just upgrade the coils while I'm at it. Right?

    Sure you can upgrade the coils, but the shocks will be the ride quality improving factor IMO.

    If I were you, I would get...

    Front:

    Maxtrac spindles
    5100's set to zero
    keep your stock coils

    Rear:

    Dakar leaf packs
    5125s
    extended brake lines

    and call it good

    All that sounds great. But I'm not trying to get any more rear lift (just sticking with the tsb leaf spring) and I just wanted to level out the front or be slightly nose high.

    Northern California. A bro lean is not my goal here. My issue was whether 883's would bring up the front enough; if not then I would go with the 884's to get as close to LEVEL as possible.

    ugh still California....

    Just get 5100's and set them to .85 with stock coils it will ride nice and will get you closer to level.
