I have an 00 Tacoma and I just got some Bilstein 5100 Series struts and they are adjustable up to 2.5", I have coil spacers in the front and I was wondering if I take the spacers out and put the struts all the way to 2.5" or do I leave them in and leave the struts at 0.00", or is there another way to go about this, if anyone could help that would you great thanks!!!

Well, Basically when you installed the spacers, it preloaded the coil.
Minus the spacer and adjusted up to say..1.5", Preloads the coil.

I say ditch the spacer and get some new ome 880's.
Then adjust the shocks if they arent satisfactory.

The ome's are basically a replacement spring and wont give much of a lift but will take it back to stock, your coils are probably faded..

the shocks are new so i dont want to ditch them, just wondering if i need to leave the spacers in or take them and and what would i adjust them to with or without the spacers!

thanks

I didnt say ditch the shocks, I said ditch the stock coils and the spacers get some new replacement coils,OME 880's to be exact. Your coils are probably well, faded.

Then when the new coils settle you can adjust the shocks to your liking...
