I will be interested to hear how it all comes together for you. We are moving back to AZ in the next few months, maybe I'll come take a peep in person :)

Did you end up going with 8100's yet? If so, how do you like em?

I have driven in wet and icy/snowy conditions. They work great, much better than the KO2s on my old Raptor. I have not driven the 265 P metric Wildpeaks, so I can't speak on the difference.

No rubbing at all for me

I went through this same decision making process, the difference being I also lifted my 20 ORP by 1.5" all around. I went with the 275 Falken's after deciding I would be willing to sacrifice the weight difference for the extra ~1" in tire size. I am super happy with my decision, and TBH, I do...

I paired my 5160's with Dobinson C59-505 1.5" springs, my 6112's are set to the 1.6" lift setting (#5/#3, non-KDSS) I love the look and the ride

I have the C rated Falken's in 275/70/17, I just got them on so have not had a chance to test them out in snow, though I have heard good things. I have had no balancing issues at all (I am ~3,000 miles in, just got back from a trip Denver - Phoenix and back). I think they look badass, and they...

FWIW - OP installed my suspension a month or so back. He's a great dude and did a great job. Knows his stuff in and around Toyota off road vehicles. I'd trust him to do more work for me, or this project if I had a stock Runner

How do the angled sliders work as a step? I am heavily considering RSG and I need decent step functionality for the wifey. Trying to decide between the angled or non-angled

I got my parts from Battle Born Offroad out in Vegas. They also do a T4R discount. I got my parts super quick too, within a week.

As has been mentioned, a quick upgrade to 5100 or Eibach shocks will solve this for you. Do you plan to do some off roading? If so, I would look in to spending a little more on suspension, that way you take care of the boaty/body roll issues and set yourself up with a rig ready for the trails.

I feel ya! I fretted over my decision for weeks, went back and forth between Bilstein 5100, a full Dobinson's setup, Eibach Pro, Icon Stage 2 and eventually landed with the Bilstein 6112/5160 setup with Dobinson 1.5" coils in the back. I decided I didn't want to go rebuildable while I am using...

Looks good! What type of lift are you looking at doing in the future? I am super happy with my 6112/5160 set up.

Most of what I've read says the 650lb coils add .5-.7" of lift

I don't have the Eibach Pro lift, but was highly considering it before I decided on Bilstein 6112/5160 setup. A) If you can afford it, the Bilstein set up is going to be better for off roading, they are beefier shocks. B) If you can afford it, get UCA's. Dobinson's UCA's are relatively cheap...
