if anyone cares
I bought from WheelersOffRoad.com. They have switched out the lower bushing with a 3/4 to fit the 4runner for a few more bucks $$. Well worth it for saving me the time and trouble
So I called some places to get some answers about the bumpstops and the 890 coming loose with the 5100.
The answers I have received are:
The 890 should hold in place with the 5100. The problem is more common with shorter coils like the 906 or when using longer shocks (LC80)
The #1 reason to extend Bumpstops with the 890 is to prevent coil binding caused by over-compession. This will shorten the life of a coil.
this is also true for shocks that are over extended (like bmodo16 stated)
I'm still not clear if my cone bumpstops will help??

I have 890s with Tundra 5100. They stay in place at full droop with the shocks fully extended and the rear sway bar on. Those 2 things are what keep the axle from drooping further. I believe the cone and bump stop are to limit compression in the rear which would cause damage.
