    Whaddapunk, i already took care of the suspension. In November I scrapped the spacer lift and put in Bilstein 5100s on all 4 wheels. They are on my TRD coils set at 2.5. So the only thing I would have to do is get Eibachs or 885x (I think the 886x might be too much without a winch)

    The 886 would be too stiff for your needs. Get the 885's and set the Billies back down to 0.

    For 500 id pull the trigger. That's a great deal like others are saying. I from personal experience you should be fine with just the 5100s, but I'd definitely recommend upgrading to at least the 885x to retain stock height. My pro comp coils are sagging a bit. Kinda ticks me off. But it rides great. I may end up replacing my pro comp shocks with 5100s and just setting them up a notch or so and adding UCAs.... Just go with it and feel it out for your suspension after it's installed. From incidents I've seen arb holds up a lot better than all pro anyways, so IMHO you're getting the best bumper on the market for a great deal and you can mod your suspension afterwards to account for it. I drove around for over two months on stock suspension and a spacer.
