I saw that and read all of speedy's very helpful threads. I figured with the extra weight on my truck the extra height of the 890s would be better (even if 890s are a lower spring rate than 906s). I'd be fine with ~1 inch of rake. I am leaning toward using the lowest perch and just wanted to double check to be sure I wasn't way off.

2nd perch no doubt. I have the same exact setup and have about 1/2 of rake. Recently travelled to FL with 2 full grown teens and wife and about as much as one could fit in the back and I had no sag. Road very nice also (wife actually complimented the ride as she didn't like it when we 1st got the truck) 890's give full 3" and the tundra coils get around 2" of lift. Each perch setting is 2/3"
Finally installed my Tundra TRD/890 coils w/ 5100 all around
PS One more thing. If I were to do this again, when reinstalling the coilover asy, I would have disconnected the LBJ from the LCA, using a balljoint separator in those kits you can borrow from Autozone or Advance. I discovered this when doing my LCA bushings and all I had to do was jack the LCA up into position with the LBJ bolted in and guide it into the hole in the LCA, put the bolt in for bottom of the coilover and secure then jack the LCA up the rest of the way and put the LBJ nut on and torque everything up. So much simpler then that bottle jack method where I almost ruined the bolt threads trying to put it in.
