New Coils w/shock question

[TechControl]

Hey guys, I've been lurking on here forever and doing a ton of reading and enjoying all the mods everybody has done. I run a bone stock 11 SR5. I don't do any off roading unless you want to call driving some Pennsylvania and Maryland backroads in the winter time off roading. I knew the Toytec lift would be too much. So with that being said I know that I want to run the OME 884 coils on the front and the 895E's on the back and I also want to replace the shocks. I want to go with the adjustable Bilsteins but with the new coils what setting should I put the Bilsteins at? All i want is to level it out, and if I can add a little height with this set up that's fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Based upon my research you are probably going to want to keep the front setting at the lowest level if you are going with the 884s, here are a few pictures of someone running 883/895E with stock shocks: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/79394-my-sr5-build-2.html#post690614

Considering that the 884s are probably a good 0.5"+ more lift than the 883s, bumping up the front perches might leave you with negative rake, especially if you load up the cargo area.

welcome to the club neighbor! if you go 3" you might want an upper control arm to help get your alignment in spec

Thanks for the info guys, I appreciate it. Once done I'll post up some pictures.

I have the Superflex coils awaiting installation claiming 2" of lift for the rear. Based on my reading/research and some email conversation I had with one of the Toytec guys a few months back, I will eventually compliment these superflex coils with either the OME884 or the Eibach front coils with my front bilsteins set to the .85 setting. Result will be an overall lift of 2.5-3" in the front and 2" in the back, leaving just a slight rake. My set-up is damn near level right now with the Bilsteins at the 2.5" setting in the front and a 1.5" Daystar rear spacer...but the back sags a little lower than the front when heavily loaded down for vacation.

You will definitely be gaining height with the set-up you listed...if you want to be level also, you should need to put the Bilsteins at the 0.85 setting.

If you don't want any lift and just want to level, skip the new springs all together and set the Bilsteins on the 0.85 for the best overall ride/look.

Pulled the trigger on the springs today. I will be ordering the 5100's soon. I'm also looking at the Camburg UCA's if needed. Once I get the springs and 5100's in hand I'm going to reach out to the guys down at High Tech in Chantilly,Va since they are fairly close and set up and appointment. Plus I see nothing but good stuff about those guys on here...and have been read Ducamonsta's build and everything he post's on here. As things progress I will update. Thanks again for the input guys.

Update: Got the springs last week and the 5100's should be here Thursday. Can't wait to see how this turns out. I will update with pics once done.
