2001 SR5 4WD -- 880/890 w/ Bilstein 5100s

Anyone running this combo? I want it to sit with a slight to moderate rake. Which slot to use on the coil over? Trim packers needed?

This is for my dd. Also do occasional weekend camping, dirt roads/washboard, but no heavy wheeling. I don't haul or pull anything and I don't want a stiffy harshy ride. My stock 4R has almost 200k on what looks like the OG suspension. It's shot. Since it needs replaced anyway, thought I'd go with a bit of an upgrade. Any advice on install appreciated.

Thanks!

I have 880's up front as I didn't want to lose down travel. But mine are pared with tundra 5100s. Small bumps are a bit harsh, but large bumps and dips are super cushy. This is most likely due to the shocks. But if you don't want much lift as I did, they are great as far as I can tell.

I have 906's in the rear. Do you carry/tow a lot of cargo? If so I would recommend them as they are strong as hell (for the rear) and don't sag.

 

The Tundra 5100s have stiffer valving than the 4R units, yes? I don't haul or tow much. I take the wife, dog, and 2 kids camping on the reg, we don't have a whole bunch of gear though. I'm wavering between 890 and 906 because I'm a scerd of a stiff bumpy ride which I've heard some complaints about.

 

Honestly with my setup if the 880's were much taller I'd get reverse rake with a load haha.

I'm not sure if I would say they are stiffer, as with big bumps and drops they are fantastic. Driving around she feels "lazy" with a slow response. But small sudden bumps are hard. But that's the whole Bilstein vs OME vs Fox/king/etc.
