    I have 3" Eibach coil springs with my 5100's on the 0 setting up front with a 1.5" AAL in the rear with regular 5100's also. Plus Camburg UCA's. I did a diff drop too.

    I have purchased a pair of General Spring H D, I'll install them in the next week or so, I believe I'll get about 2",2.5" after it settles a while. (rear)

    PO of my truck installed SuperSprings with the 5100's. They are adjustable for different load capacities and give about 2.5 in the rear and 1.5 up front. He said it was better than stock ride as well.

    V6 on 4 cyl. It makes a difference. Give Toytec lifts or Down South Motorsport a call and tell them what you got and what you want.

    Why not just buy a lifting coil and leave the 5100's at zero

    Only coil that should be used at 2.5 is the factory and factory replacements that give no lift.
