I installed a lift yesterday, it took a while and we ran into some problems, but we got it mostly done.
Front: toytec adjustable coilovers with 650lb rate springs
Rear: OME 891's, bilstein 5125s and extended brake lines
The front went in actually pretty easy and i need to lower the threads on the coils to get a little less lift and better cv angles. The problems we ran into were with the rear lift, I was trying to use some friends used bilstein 5150's but there wasnt enough space to fit them in so I ordered some 5125's to go under it, and we didn't find this out until after we ruined the original shocks to get them out. So I had to run to the parts store and currently I am running som Gabriel G-Force shocks, just as bad as monroe. Also when doing the rear brake line extention we broke the hard line, and that just plain sucked balls. We got it fixed though and the brakes are working good. I am going to be finishing the lift up friday with the bilstein 5125's once they get int.
Now for the pics:

I think i broke one of the crappy shocks flexing, but hey that means i get to return it under warrenty
