    So i ordered some new components. Low and behold the AAL i ordered are on manufacturer back order for 2 weeks.
    So as i sit here and twiddle my thumbs i wonder if i will like what i ordered and i hope it sits as good as the truck does now.

    I have 5100 all around. Fronts conservatively currently set at .85, nothing in rear on 265/75-16 Sits level, rides nice.

    I ordered Eibach/toytec 2.5" springs(no plates) and will be setting front billies 5100 at 0
    Rear is getting a wheelers 1.5"
    Theoretically should sit the same, just a tad higher so i can maybe squeeze a bigger tire if i wish, pizza cutters on trd pro wheels tickle my fancy. But i do more sand cruising than anything in the summer so i may remain with my current size.

    Either way, who has had this setup for a while. How do you like it?

    I'm trying to understand ride height changes, how can 2.5 inch springs sit the same height as the .85 setting on 5100's?
