First pic is stock, the lift is Bilstein 5100s at .85 with FJ coils all around.
I like the reduced rake and firm suspension.
Ideally, I want to go higher. When my tires go bad, I'll get a bigger size with wheel spacers, go up to the next setting or 2 on the bilstein, then add a 1" spacer in the back.

Thanks for posting. So this is with no spacer in the rear? Looks perfect imo, I was looking for a moderate but noticeable lift. How many miles did your fj springs have on them? How's the ride quality?
Thanks! No rear spacer- The rears allegedly had 3k and the fronts had 75k. I searched this thread for weeks until deciding on getting FJs and bilsteins. I was going to go with a spacer lift, but my Xreas shocks needed replacing after over 100k miles so I went with the FJ bilstein combo.
The ride quality can be described as "firm" and "solid" - I prefer it to the stock.
finally got the funds to do the upgrades that I've been wanting to do so here it is. Toytec 5100 all around with eibach spring for front and superflex hd for rear. American tire MB 352 16x8.5 -6 offset with 285 75 16 Goodyear duratrac. I really like how it ride and look.
I need sliders and bigger tires! :sobbing::sobbing:
Just got my lift put on. Only took about 5 1/2 hours.
5100's all the way around set at 1.75
OME 884's up from and FJC rear coils
Sitting on 265/75/16 bfg's AT with 16" TRD FJC wheels
Rides like a dream!
Sorry for the crappy phone picture.

Looks good! You out the OME 884's on the 1.75 setting?!
Yeah that's what I'm rock'in right now. I'm loving the look and feel when I drive. The fjc springs are settling in a gives it a nice prerunner look but If sags anymore tho I might switch the rear springs, not sure yet.
Edit: Just read your mod list and it looks like our rigs will be pretty similar, in time. "Great minds think alike" [emoji6]
