Eibach/Toytec springs with Tundra 5100's?

[Igot1too]

Ok I'm about to lift my 2000 and stumbled upon this thread. I think this may be the route I go. I'd like about 3", and want to do it reasonably priced, with new shock and springs because I have high miles.

A couple questions though.....

1. Are the 5100s necessary or should I save a few bucks and get the HDs paired with the 3" Eibach springs. (I'll probably never use the different settings on the 5100s)

2. Tundra or Tacoma front shocks?

3. What will give me a level ride for the rear. LC 7.5, or LC8? or something else?

4. Any pics yet from Atalarico or Eddy?

Thanks guys!

1. i don't have experience with any other shocks so i'm not sure if anything else will work as well... you'l love the ride of the 5100's though, you won't be disappointed.

2. either will work, most people use the tacoma ones. i don't know of anyone else other than atalarico and me that have these coils paired with the tundra shocks. i hear the tacoma ones are a bit softer but i can't be for certain as i have not run the taco ones.

3. i have the LC 7.5 and i'm still sitting about an inch higher in the rear, which i'm okay with since with gear and people in the back it'll level out. I know atalarico's rig was pretty level but he is running OME springs out back, not sure which ones. CoMarc came over to check out my set up and it looked like after the rear springs settle (his are settled, mine are not) i will be pretty level.

4. not yet but i'll go out and snap some on my lunch break.

this is a very good and informative thread, now i regret buying my brand new TRD tundra coils... even with my father inlaws discount working at toyota the eibach 3" springs are much cheaper... damnit! oh well great info guys!
if i go this route, i also will be using the tundra 5100. as if i ever for some reason decide to go back to the TRD coils i can and will have the grater range in adjust-ability with the tundra 5100s

I have the Tacoma 5100s and L.C 8 wraps and it is not level. I got almost 5" out of the LC, may or may not settle over time either way I'm ok with it. If I remember correctly when I got my Eibachs I read somewhere on Toytec's site that stock shocks were not long enough. You probably don't have to do Bilsteins but probably could do some other longer shock. Pic of mine is below. I also have the 5125s in the rear.
