Help me finish my lift shopping cart

About a month ago I put a used set of 99 coils on my 01 just to clear a set of tires.
Pretty soon after hauling some cargo and running some basic trails I learned this wasn't going to cut it.
95% will be highway commuting to work and the rest weekend trips camping, fishing, etc
What my cart consists of.
OME 890s
Bilstein 5100 rears (1.5-3" model)
FRONT
Retain 99 tall coils
New top hat assemblies and nylocs
Lower shock mount bolts
Steering rack bushings

Now for the the front shocks I am having a hard time deciding between the 4 runner 5100s (3 position), tundra 5100s (5 positing), or the Eibach 4 runner adjustable fronts (3 position).

I am leaning towards the Eibachs on the middle perch for rough 2-2.25" of lift. They seem to have better reviews compared to the bilsteins concerning ride quality.

With this setup, I should be able to avoid a diff drop and any bump stop extensions, panhead bar issues hopefully.
Anything else I should consider?

You look you you did your research. Pull the trigger already.

One thing I would suggest, based on mine and a lot of others here, is to reboot your CV's while you are in there. You'll end up doing it in a month anyway so just take care of it now.

As far as the diff drop and panhard goes, people will debate you on that all day long. I'm lifted 3" front and 4" rear. No diff drop and I won't install one either. I will be installing a panhard conversion kit though. Road driving it's fine. On washboards though the ass end wants to correct itself and causes the ass to shift out slightly. Annoying as hell.
