    I will need some as well. I plan on adding bigger coils to my 6" kit. I'd like to sit at around 8" of lift, so the SPC's would def help keep me aligned. My rear is sitting at about 8" of lift so unless I am towing it looks a bit goofy with the rake. I had the front up at 9" (6" kit with bilstein shocks + OME 885 coils) but it just sat too high for a proper alignment without UCA's.

    How are those rear 5100’s holding up with that much lift in the rear? Looking to switch to the same set up and wondering what rear shocks I should get. I also need to find out what spring length and rate I should go with having a winch and steel bumper in the front while still having a 3” ride height on my 2nd gen Tacoma double cab. 600,650,700??? I’m not sure how hard you push the suspension but have you ever noticed the front 5100’s over extending because of the bigger spring when doing off-roading of any kind? I ask because putting springs other than bilstein on the 5100s will void 5100 warranty and if the shock breaks from overextending your SOL. Anyone ever have a need for limiting straps of any kind on a set up like this? How are you’re CV axles holding up with the increase angle so far?

    Can you tell me what size tires you were running after your lift install, hard to tell from your photos.
    Thanks!
