Bilstein 5100s with Eibach or TRD Tundra?

In case anyone else is wondering, the duratracs do come in a 265/75r16 in a C rating. I hope that's real because discount was giving me a quote on them a while back. I'll be sour if they sell me Ds or Es again. Haha. https://www.goodyear.com/en-US/tires/wrangler-duratrac/sizes-specs#Specs12

So, are you saying that the front sits taller than the rear? Have any pics? Shouldn't the 890 yield about 3" of lift? Sounds like you like the ride though, so that's good!

Yeah, I measured this morning at work which is slightly more level. I have about 3/4 tank of gas, the spare, and the trailer hitch and maybe 30lbs of other gear in the back. I was getting the same measurements from hub center to bottom of flare. 24" up front and 23.75 or just a hair under 24" in the back.

So, the new struts just lifted me up again? I don't get it. Like I said before, I went to toytec because they wanted to measure, and while I don't remember the exact hub to flare measurements, I do remember that he said I had a positive rake of 3/4". I don't recall the rake difference specifically but it was definitely positive. He said I was getting about 2.5" of front lift and 3 and some change in the rear over stock.

I'm about to load it up and drive to Jackson Hole for the week, so I'm guessing it'll be more negative real quick.

Will the struts settle or something? The Eibach coils are definitely broken in after 3.5 years. If they don't settle and lower then I'm going to buy some different coils and drop the front. I was hoping this would either stay the same or drop it but I was definitely not hoping it would lift it again. Oye.
Confused.

Never mind, I just did a quick google search on Bilstein 5100 strut settling and it looks like it's a thing. Just curious though if those people are actually taking about the coil or the actual strut. Both?

Just to confirm if anyone looks at this; took a 500 mile drive from Denver to Jackson, WY, and also went for a little 4 wheeling. I just measured and the front dropped. Measuring equal with front and back at 23.75 inches.
