    Bilstein 5100s (Front & ext. Rear), Eibach coils @ 0, MaxTrac 4" Spindles, Light Racing UCAs, 1/4" lean spacer, All-Pro 3" Standard leafs, u-bolt flip kit, SpiderTrax 1.25" wheel spacers, 33" (285/70/17) TreadWright Warden A/T tires, extended lines
    Isn't the 3" Toytec lift just Eibach coils and adjustable 5100s? You don't need to crank them at max 3" , it'd be crazy lean and a harsh ride...I have Eibachs too so its adding 1.6", so I have about 5.6-6" lift in front. Rides way better than when I had them preloaded...and you must consider steps for small passengers...(I got Nfab, I'd recommend)

    With 3" leafs in rear, I still have lean. I never heard of getting 7" in rear without blocks...even that's high for blocks...but I've def seen some crazy chevys/fords with them...but don't see too many trying to get that much lift in rear.

    You will definitely have vibration issues with the driveline angle too I would think. I had them with just 2", then with 3" but with CB drob bracket I'm back to no vibes :cool:....

    I may just run them..i feel like if i have 3" in the front and 1.5" in the back now and im level then adding 3.5" spindles and 3" leaf pack should put me about the same still with a .5" difference in front...could always take the top spacer out of the front and just use the one that is inside the strut...

    Have you tried flipping the carrier bearing? As in unbolt the cb and rotate it 180 degrees and bolt in in again. I did this before i put my 3" leafs, didnt fix it, but it did once i got them on...and I didn't need to flip it back to stock side either...

    Spindles are the best thing you can get to keep stock ride (geometry) and 3.5"+ of lift. I would recommend the spindles with stock height coilovers and a 3" leaf pack in rear (ex: all pro standard) . If you'd rather have no lean at all or somewhat rake like stock, get 3" expo springs from allpro (give about 4" unloaded).

    You said you don't offroad much, but If you do offroad a bit and will be fully extending your suspension then I'd also add a set of 5100 extended for the rear ($165 shipped)...good to go...
