    Okay tried to look them up and these are the only ones that I am seeing right now. Also considering OME coils. https://www.extremeterrain.com/eibach-25-front-prolift-springs-0515-6lug-tacoma.html?utm_content=AT Handling - Springs|Eibach&T5_Var4=TT1119&utm_campaign=XTT+Tacoma+No+Vehicle+High&dialogtech=ppc&utm_source=google-pla&utm_medium=shopping&T5_Var2=shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8Y2XysDm6QIVFQnnCh0B3AImEAYYASABEgIfRfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

    I just threw on eibachs pro lift kit maxed out at 3-3.5” lift and I love it. I’m maxed out and yet so comfortable??! Check out eibachs coils while your shopping. I went w eibachs because they been making springs for so damn long and I wanted to try something “different” than what’s commonly used for our trucks. I couldn’t be happier.

    Was thinking about getting the JBA high caster UCA too. Do you know what the difference is between "JBA STD" vs "JBA HD?"

    The HD are more heavy duty, for like extreme off roading. The tubes are thicker on the HD.

    I have the STD. I go off-roading a lot but wouldn’t call myself extreme.

    I'm pretty sure bilstein makes the shock for eibach, while they make their own spring, actually I think eibach makes most of the springs for different manufacturers, but i may be wrong.

    Thank you everyone for all the info, I really appreciate it. I have decided to go with the Eibach 2.5 coils and JBA STD high caster upper control arms. Will post again once everything is installed and let you guys know how it came out!

    You'll want some King coil overs with at least new UCA's up front.
    In the rear get some Deaver leafs with king shocks.



    That's going to be the "best"

    Thanks for this post. I had the same exact question. If you end up liking what you chose, I’ll most likely do the same.

    I ordered my coils and upper control arms on June 4 but everything is back ordered due to the virus. I will keep the forum updated once I install my parts.

    On my 2008 dclb i initially installed 5100's set at 2.5" with stock coils, it rode terribly.
    I changed to stock fj coils (had a pair in my garage) set 5100's @ 1.75" rode a bit better but still had rake.
    I ordered toytec 2.5" coils with the top spacer for 3" total lift and set 5100's @ 0". It rides like a dream but after about 8 months they've settled and I have damn rake again. Gonna try setting 5100's @ .85"
    If that doesn't level it out or it rides harsh, I'm ordering different coils.

    HELP! Jumping on here with a question for the group. Looking for some recommendations. I want to lift my Taco 2.5" - 3" and not have an horrendous ride quality. Tires are still are TBD. I've read alot of guys are running 5100s w/ OME 887s and AAL. But I'm interested in all opinions and pros/cons.

    Thanks TW friends

    This is the information I got in regards to putting ome coils on 5100s from Headstrong. I am currently installing eibach 2.5 coils on 5100s at the lowest notch with JBA upper control arms. Will finish the install today and let you know how mines came out!

    Just installed my JBA control arms with the Eibach 2.5 springs and it made a world of difference. Very happy with how it rides!
