    You sir are correct. Front coil overs are backordered for a month.

    Did you get the top place spacer to bring it to 3"? If you did just the 5100s at .85 and Eibach Spings it should bring you to 2.5", which means you don't need new UCA's. If you did get the top plate spacer, you may want to invest in some UCA's. I'm gonna do the same lift as you in the near future, that is if you are only lifting 2.5" in the front and 2" in the rear.

    Satoshi'd grill. blacked out badges. aftermarket sound system. De-chromed and color matched. OME 885s + Dakars with 3rd leaf removed. LR UCAs. Scs stealth 6 with 285 duratracs. BAMF sliders
    Just to let you know UCAs will still have a huge benefit even if you only lift the front 2.5 inches.

    I did not get the top spacers. I have a 4 bannger so I will sit a tad higher then 2.5 in the front. I think sometime down the road I will get the top spacers. And I most likely get new uca's when I can afford it.

    Thanks for that info. Yea I have heard from a few people that uca's help out a lot. Any type or brand of uca's you would recommend for someone on a tight budget?

    Its a 1/4" spacer that adds 1/2" to your lift.

    So buying to of those would give you another .5 in in front. Then I'm also curious on the cv angles?

    Actually, this is the spacers in the toytec drop down options for your lift: it says the spacers will give double cabs full 3" of lift. Might be too much for your access cab. the 1/4" spacer I linked earlier is usually used for just the drivers side to fix the taco lean. But you should be able to run it on both sides to get a little more lift.
    I'm not real familiar with the OME lifts.
    Lots of people run 3" of lift, but you do have to worry about CV boots wearing out.

    :edit:
    MY BAD! I thought you were going OME. I got confused with another thread. :D
