do you have any pics?
I ordered mine today, (back ordered until mid May) and plan to set mine at 1.75".

Mine is a 4x4 v8. Which gives less lift with the fj's.
OP sorry to threadjack.
no problem, its good to see other mildly lifted rigs.

what color are the rims? and is it paint or plasti dip
Rims are painted hammerd grey. Center caps are regular plasti dip to match bumper, grille, and lights. The toyota emblems are painted silver on the center caps.

Any rear spacer? Do you have a side shot?
I have my 5100s in the garage and I'm trying to decide.
I have FJ springs and 5100s set to 0.85. Back when I first did the install, here are the measurements I recorded (with stock tire size, 265/65/17):
Before/After/Net Lift
Front Left: 84.5cm/88cm/3.5cm (1.38")
Front Right: 84.7cm/88.5cm/3.8cm (1.5")
Rear Left: 90cm/92.3cm/2.3cm (0.9")
Rear Right: 91cm/92.5cm/1.5cm (0.6")
I've since upsized the tires slightly to 265/70/17 so the truck sits maybe an additional 1/2" off the ground. Here are recent pictures:
The lift is fairly mild but I like it; off-road capability is increased with ~2" additional ground clearance under the front axle which is desperately needed, but at the same time the lift isn't high enough to severely affect center of gravity and on-road handling (and let's face it, most of the time we drive on the pavement).
