    I have the same truck as yours only 2016, did you use the stock (oem) coils up front w/5100's and you are level? The reason I am asking is I purchased OME 885 coils as not to pre-load the shocks but have not installed them yet, I also have 1" block for rear. Looking at your picture you look level, how much left did u get at 1.75 setting? I will be staying with oem wheels with either 265 or 285/75/16.

    My coils are stock. My truck is level with about 1.5 inch lift. I don't know how the OME coils will ride. Mine rides great.

    '16 Tacoma DblCab LngBd TRD Sprt 4x4 Slvr Sky
    Hey guys, newbie to the forum so bear with me please. I have spent hours on this site since I bought my latest Taco, a '16 DCLB TRD Sport 4x4, in late June. This forum is nothing short of awesome if you are looking for ideas or just like to look at Toyota trucks. So here goes my first post and first question.
    Last week my 275/70-17 BFG's came in to go on my stock wheels, for now. I just ordered 5100's (front & back) from Jet, thanks for the hook-up from this thread since $275 is a deal.
    I am thinking about a 1" block in the rear for now and am wondering where you guys have been getting them from. I have found a few for around $145 but that seems a little pricey for a "lift block and u-bolts". But if that's what they cost then I guess it is what it is.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    How is this set up as of today, im thinking of doing the same. Why did you chose block instead of a pack in the rear? Im thinking of putting on a shell in the future, you think your set up would a good complement? Whatvwas the total lift in the rear with the sumo? Truck looks awesome.

    No issues with the set up. I'm on coilovers now but had the 5100s for 12k with several off road trips. With the lift block and a set of Sumo Springs in the rear no issues with handling extra weight.

    btw just installed the 5100 on a friends gen 2 yesterday and wow!!!
    it was super easy, didn't even use a spring compressor just did it the way where u remove center shock bolt then unbolt the lca and lower it with a jack to release tension. 30min per side while drinking beer and talking.
    f*** spring compressors

    also the ride didn't seem much different at all from the gen 2 trd bilstein's to the new 5100 bilstein's

    The term "level" seems to be quite subjective around here, so I'll let you be the judge by the pics I posted.
    In my opinion its pretty much dead nuts level. And to be clear, the rear block is 1.5" :)
