    I heard people do a half inch on the drivers side then 1/4 on the passenger, would that be too stiff?

    ^ top plate spacers don't really change the quality of the ride.

    King so you what number OME springs? I was wanting to lift my DC it for 33s. With your coils, and 5100s, and the rear leaf pack. I would have the same lift?

    I like your set up. And was wanting the same setup your had just not the 1000 $ kit

    285/75-16 BFG KM1's, AVS vent visors, AVS hood shield, pioneer avic F900BT, pac steering wheel control adapter, Boyo rearview camera, pac ipod interface, tinted windows, Toytec 1.5 AAL, Bistein 5100s (front set to .85) Eibach coils, Black headlights, grillcraft black billet insert, N-fab light bar, 4 Hella FF700 lights & color matched grille, Sockmonkey bedside decals. 16x8 MT sidebiters, Weathertechs, Fabtech spare carrier.
    I didnt do the 1/2" spacer. I have a prerunner with the eibach coils/5100s @ .85 with 1/4" driver side spacer. I have 16x8" MT sidebiters with 4.5" backspacing and 285/75-16 BFG KM1s. Had to trim the black plastic fender liner nipple thing that hangs down in front of the tire. Also trimmed a little off the bottom edge of the fender flare in front of and behind the tire (I wasnt rubbing but wanted to make sure I never did) No cab mount chop or pinch weld mod. Stock uca's are fine, but LR UCAs are on the way. No rubbing, no vibs or weird shit. It is stiff though, not as good a ride as factory...most others say different.
    Oh, and I have a 1.5" AAL (no tsb) and its not enough. If you dont have the tsb then get the deaver leaf pack or other cause 1.5" isnt enough lift unless you want your ass sagging.

    I'm thinking of doing the same lift. i already have the 5100s installed but i was wondering how much actual lift you got with a double cab in the front because after my calculations the rear should be about 3/4" higher. Also do you or anyone know if all the 2nd gens have the lean problem?
