    Jsut spoke to my toyotec dealer. He said if your using your truck for a dailey drive there is no problem putting eibach coils on the 2nd setting of your bilstein 5100s.

    Did you tell him you have a first gen tacoma?
    2nd gens are heavier up front and only get 1.75" of lift from the eibachs, 1st gens get 3+

    Putting them on the second setting will destroy your front end

    2nd gens can use all but the top notch with eibachs and bilstien 5100s since they are quite a bit heavier.
