    I am having a hard time deciding which route to take on my 99 Tacoma single cab 2.7 4x4. I currently have the Bilstein 5100 on the middle setting with a AAL in the rear and am sitting about 3/4" higher in the rear. I am looking to get as close to level as possible whether that be the Bilstein 5100 on the highest setting or a set of OME 881 lift coils. Pictures and or opinions are all welcome!

    Thanks

    Just my opinion, but I'd go 881. I've got bilsteins on my Double Cab. I've had 880, 880 on 2nd notch, 881, 881 with 3/8" wheelers poly spacers, and Eibach 620. For MY setup 881 are perfect. They ride better than any of the other combos I've tried. It sits dead level with Wheelers AAL. Sits 3/4"high in rear with Dakar's. you'll be a little high at first but should settle out level with no winch or aftermarket front bumper or no armor. Hopefully someone with a reg cab chimes in If not try a google search.

    My vote is for the 881's as well. You should have a better ride with this setup.
