Id only put land cruiser coils in the rear. They are soft, flexy and hold about the same amount of weight as stock coils. Unless you plan on loading, towing or putting a heavy bumper, put LC coils. If you plan on doing anything mentioned, Id look into the OME coils..

I'd do the Landcruiser coils like previously mentionned. Many U.S buyers are getting the shocks at a sweet price too! I'd look into that.......

No, OME 906's aren't going to get anywhere close to 39" ground to fender with 265/75's.
You need LC coils, and some cheap Tokico trekmaster shocks for those coils. PM brian2sun, it's what he runs and I bet he has the part numbers for the shock. They're like $35 each. Cheap.

He's got Bilstein adjustable 5100 shocks up front. The Tacoma ones I believe, part number D-558....
yeah i have the adjustabel bilsteins.. i believe they were moved up to the 1.25" mark which just acts as a 1.25" spacer.
for people wanting this much lift this might be an option.. im on 32" tires so if i level out the back it just wont look to great so im just going to have the shock moved down to stock height

This is the question for me right now... LC coils or 890s. I tow a 2000lb pop-up trailer about 10 or more times a year during the summer, but otherwise it only has a trailer hitch, spare tire, and subwoofer encloser the rest of the time in the back. Do I go LC coils and not worry about sag or go for a stiffer ride with the 890s.

I was thinking he may have installed the spring holder cup thing upsidedown... but I guess that if he installed them on the adjustable shocks it's doable.
yeah ill go take a pic. real quick.. im still amazed at the amount of lift.. i just measured again and one side is 40" and the other 39.25.
what happened? haha

Those 5100's aren't on the highest setting. I can see one adjustment line so those are set atleast to the second height setting. I just received a pair of 5100's from toytec and they came pre-set to the highest setting so it's possible who ever installed the shocks may have used the setting that came out of the box

Looks good to me. I just wanted to make sure that the spring seat wasn't installed upside down like COB said. I have had alot of people call me saying that they got too much lift and that was the cause of it.
i took it back to the shop yesterday and had them move the shock down and now its perfect! im sitting at about 38 but that should settle a little. its a little higher in the front still but eventually ill get 906 coils in the back or maybe just 2 trim packers on each side in the back
ill post some pics later today

I was going to say 39" is too much. i have a 1" bl and SAW adjustable coilovers on 285's and the top of the front wheel well is just over 39".
I WAS thinking it mush have drove pretty bad on bumps, as most of your down travel was taken up with lift
