    I put on 5100's (set at 1.75) about 6 months ago with the stock coils. It wasn't too bad but the front was definitely a rougher ride. I ordered Toytec coils and put them on this weekend, set at 0. Took a pic with the Toytec at 0 on the driver side vs. stock spring at 1.75 on passenger side for reference. Definitely a better ride with the Toytec. Obviously the more you compress the springs the rougher the ride will be.

    BTW, two things that I had this time that I wish I had last. An dewalt cordless impact wrench and 17mm and 19mm ratcheting wrenches. I could probably swap one of these out in less than 15 min.

    As previously stated eibach 1.6 will do the job. Mr Salty next time you want to call me out make sure you get your facts right. Apparently mine are.

    Looks good man ya swapping coils is a breeze with air tools I only had hand tools(all my tools are at my job site 3000 miles away) when I did my lift it took about 3 hours

    What facts are you referring to and what are you trying to prove :confused:

    Will the 884 coils not do the same as well as provide a slightly better ride?
    Please wow me with your wisdom of all Tacoma lift products. I mean you already demonstrated your knowledge of Bilstiens 5100s by insinuating they came with the top hardware even though they clearly don't.

    Carry on :thumbsup:

    With the new coils did you set the shocks at zero?

    Sorry just reread your post, you sent at zero. What did you do to the rear just shocks or did you do new leafs?

    Can you post a side view picture with the new set up?

    Thanks again

    Looks real good, thanks for posting pictures! It really looks a lot better than stock suspension.
