    Looking to lift a 2nd Gen Tacoma around 2". I would like a comfortable ride (I realize that its a pickup truck, not a Cadillac... ) For the front I am considering the 5100 Bilsteins set at 0" with either a OME Coil or the Eibach coils. The back will also have 5100s with the rear TSB. Anyone have opinions on which spring to get? I've heard the Eibachs will ride rough, but the OME Coils aren't "Designed" to go with Bilsteins... Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Bilstein 5100's on all four corners. Front set @ 0 with OME 883x coils. Alcon leaf springs. Viper Alarm. Wet Okole seat covers. WeatherTech Floor liners front and back. Oem Toyota chrome exhaust tip. ARE Shell. America Outlaw Wheels.
    I have a 2011 prerunner . I went with the 5100's set at 0 with the OME 883 coils. Being a prerunner it gave me just under 2 in. I am very happy with the ride . I don't have the TSB out back and it sits level . You have the TSB the 883's will leave you with some rake . If you want it to sit level look into the 884's . Hope this helps.

    There are plenty of people (myself included) that run the 5100s with Ome coils. As for me, I'm running Ome 885x and 5100s all around and it rides great.

    Thinkin about going with 5100s all around with OME 885s and LR UCAs upfront, and the rear having the tsb done with a Wheelers 3 pack AAL

    I would like the front and the rear to be level. As minimal rake as possible

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    You'll be fine. Look at the 887's as well. They might be closer to what you want.

    Any vibrations? Looks good! Also, how do the 884s and the 5100s ride? Close to stock?
