    Rear shocks will be over extended, front shocks aren't effected by the spindles

    You just need to get shocks that are the correct length. The 5100 and 5125 numbers designate the shock model not the length of the shocks.

    I am running the OME dakars and OME shocks in the rear and icon coilovers and camburg spindles in the front. Im not over extended at all. I think spindles are the way to go, us prerunners need to have some advantage to not having a front dif! I didn't go the bilstein route but i am very satisfied with the OME shocks and springs and would recommend them to anyone. Good luck!

    The guy who was asking about over extending shocks was planning on running a custom 6" leaf pack in the rear, not dakar springs

    I have no idea how the different model Bilsteins are valved. If you call up the guys at DownSouth Motorsports I'm sure they will be glad to help you out.

    I just got a quote from ALCAN :

    "Thank you for visiting our web site. At Alcan Spring we custom build our springs to fit your Toyota by using information you give us about its weight distribution, lift requirements, and how you plan to use it. The cost of the springs: $263.00 each rear spring. They come with bushings and take about 3-4 weeks to design and build. Chris we can build up to a 6” lift for this price.
    If you have any other questions please feel free to email or give us a call at 1-888-321-0870. When you are ready to order please call us so we can discuss any particulars you have for the performance of your springs."

    Much better ride with bilstein's up front at 0''. Also allows you to get more lift height if you adjust them to a higher setting. (0.85'', 1.75'', 2.5'')

    Well I wouldn't want them any higher than just the spindles so would put them at 0". Would this make the ride smoother? But then also better off road?
