Thinking about getting these from a 14 TRD Toyota Tacoma:

Bilstein struts with coils (part # 48510-AD061)
Bilstein Shocks (part # 48530-AD051)

Will they work? If so, what rear springs would you recommend?

Taco coils on. Got an inch from them, went from 33 to 34 on the money. Front axles are now pretty close to parallel with the ground. Driver's side was easy, passenger side was a pain. And the stock Tokicos are soooo dead...almost no rebound. I was able to compress them to make the install easier...lol. S'ok, now I know I don't have to max out my Bils when I get 'em. Quick test drive felt good, since there's some more up travel now, and it's no longer almost riding on the bump stops.

Oh, and took off the running boards and front mudflaps! Kept the rears for now, I'll probably end up cutting them somehow...

Put the 5100s on yesterday, and FJ rear coils. Feels sooo good. Firm, but not rough. No more floaty, mushy-ness. Loved it!
Now for some BFG ATs to make it bumpier...LOL

They gave about 1 inch on my V8 4x4. Seems to be a little more than an fj coil, most people are getting just under an inch with fj coils?

about the same if not a hair more. I liked how the Tacoma springs rode. I think youll be even still front/back if thats what you're worried about.

tacoma springs have 30k fj springs have 60k. do tacoma front struts fit 4th gens? if so i might run them because they are assembled and just buy rear 5100's idk

edit: found info on first page, going to go with 5100's front and rear
