Suspension Options

Yet another suspension post. I'd appreciate your thoughts.

I have a 2010 SR5. I want to do a mild lift mainly to firm up the front end, level it out, and for light offroading use--mainly camping, mountain biking, etc. I replaced the stock tires with Revo2s and stuck with the 265 size.

I had a a medium OME lift (coils and shocks) on my 4th gen and this was more lift than I needed so I don't want to go that route again.

Current plans/options - what options do you think make the most sense? I already purchased a set of bilstein 5100s for front and rear (front adjustable):

1) Bilsteins only with front set at 1.75 and stick with stock coils. My concern is this wont take care of the front nose dive enough or wont be firm enough

2) Bilsteins with front at 1.75 and replace coil springs front and rear with FJ Cruiser springs - in the past (4th gen) these added about 1/2 to an inch lift and are supposed to be about 20% firmer. I haven't seen anyone post that has used FJ springs on a 5th gen so if you done this I'd appreciate comments

3) Bilsteins with front at 1.75 and OME 883 and 895E or toytec superflex on the rear - I think that this will give me a little more lift than I want. My dilemma is that I already have a set of 883s and toytec superflex sitting in my basement.

4) Bilsteins with front at .85 and OME 883 front coil; rear with stock coil and new bilstein shock.

So many options, you see how I spend my time. Any thoughts appreciated.
