Dakar's with OME 880/Bilsteins 5100 4cly 4x4

Hello Guys,

I've done a ton of researching and am getting ready to order my lift. I have a few questions I can't seem to fully answer. I have a 1998 tacoma 4cly 4x4 and want to get about a 2.5" all around. I've talked to wheelers and I am going to go with a 880s/5100 with a 3/8" poly top spacer to get around 2.5" of lift in the front. Now for the rear.

Would Dakars 2.25" leaf pack look odd in the back with 5100 struts? Im worried I will get too much lift in the rear compared to the front? I see some guys get a lot of lift with the Dakars. My mechanic said my leaf's look to still be in decent shape, would it be smarter to go with a 1.5" AAL or 1.5" blocks for the back? I'd rather replace the leafs (truck has 200k miles).

Thanks in advance! Hopefully this thread will help others aswell.

 

Did you ever get an answer to this? I have the same struts and spacer and I'm thinking about the Dakar leafs as my truck has 240k on original leaves
