    Bilstein 5100 up front with Eibach coils. 5100s rear with Icon mini leaf pack. RRW 17x9 wheels with 265/70/17 Wilpeaks
    Currently running Bilstein 5100 all around with Icon mini pack in rear and Eibach springs up front set to the stock notch which gave me 2” of lift in the front. I want to go a full 3” up front and want to keep my existing 5100s. I’m also going to be adding a Lil Bs front bumper soon and installing 285/70/17 tires. Any recommendations on what to do to make up for the added weight up front and larger tires and still get the 3” lift. New to Tacoma’s and this is my first. Just trying to do things right! Thanks in advance.

    Welcome! Front bumper and 5100's I don't know about 3" in front with that combo. Prove me wrong because I am on 5100's with a 108 pound front bumper and, kinda in the same boat.

    Talk to Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road
    You'll need different spring for the 5100.
    I think the ome 887 is what you are looking for, but not really sure.

    887 is what I am on...not gonna get 3" lift with a front bumper. I was a little over 2" stock and sliders and bumper later I am at about 1". I am looking at the Eibach Pro kit. Priced right and comes with rear shocks for 600 bucks, or 700 assembled and Ya can sell the 5100 combo assembled...just thinking. The Eibach Pro kit assembled on the middle notch seems to be 2, 2 1/2"s with a front bumper and sliders or roof rack.
