Another lift question concerning front shocks.

[JB_Runner]

So I have been doing my reaearch on lifts and I have pieced together tundra trd springs and 7 wrap LC coils. When I bought the trd springs it came with bilstien HDs and has about 80000 miles on them. I'm on a budget and want to know what else shocks I can use instead of 5100. I'm wondering if I should just reuse the HDs or can I use ome shocks? I'm willing to try some other shocks too aslong as they are reasonable and quality is there.
Also this is my DD so I'm not looking for a rough or to stiff of a ride.

IMO buying the 5100's first is best, but I understand not having the cash. You definitely can use the HD's, but the lift will only be about 2" up front. You will need to buy some top plate spacers as well to get it close the 7 wraps. So instead of buying new shocks, spacers and the money to compress the springs twice, I'd go with 5100's. Otherwise just use the HD's and get some top plate spacers.

Other shocks will be a wast of money because they won't help provide lift like the 5100's. You will probably come close to the same amount buying the new shocks and spacers as just buying the 5100's.
