Moog Coil Springs for a 98 Tacoma-Updated w/info

Hello...new member here in VA. Sorry to start with a question and I have searched all the forums for a answer. This also includes the web...I have a stock 98 Tacoma, V6, Auto, A/C, 4x4, Extra cab w/no added weight such as bumpers, armor...etc. I'm rebuilding the suspension to semi-stock. I have the adjustable front 5100's and 5125's for the rear. From research Moog coil springs will fit my driving and wallet needs. Needless to say trying to find the correct part # and springs are a pain. Different sites have up to 6 different Moog part #'s and others will list the same part # for a different year and model.
If someone would not mind and has a Moog coil spring part # may I have it along with which setting on the 5100's. I have looked at OME 880's but would like to go with something which closer matches the strut valving which are set for stock springs per DSM. Thank you very much as I've spent days researching and still don't have a firm part #. Any further questions please feel free to ask. Also, it appears Rock Auto has the best price per pair but if you now of someplace cheaper I'm in. Thank you

FYI-Moog Coil Springs for a stock 1998 Toyota Tacoma, 4x4, auto, A/C, SR5, V6, extended cab non-TRD are Moog #81100 and the spring rate is 465. For a TRD option Moog #81104 but, I don't have a spring rate. If someone has the Moog spring rate please post it for others doing a search. As far as to which setting on the Bilstein adj 5100's...it will be trial and error. Once they are installed and ran for a while with a good setting found on the struts I will update.

I am sorry i can't help with the Moog Part #'s but i was in your same position a year ago when my 98 2.7 Tacoma needed the stock coils replaced due to sag. I saw on here that 4runners were using Tundra coils so i decided to give it a shot. I found a set of used Tundra Coils from a Non TRD 2000 Tundra extended cab on Craigs list for $40. I ordered the Bilstein Tundra adjustable shocks and using one of the sticky write-ups had no issues installing. I was surprised how easy it was. The ride is awesome. I know some will say you have to get the TRD but i was not looking for something that stiff. I do 90% of my driving on the pavement. I also dont have a sway bar connected and with the stock coils there was a lot of body roll. That was corrected with the stiffer Tundra coils.

Well after three years with this setup it has served me well. Set the springs on other settings and found the middle to be good. Only complaint is rebound on uneven asphalt at moderate speeds. Otherwise it's a nice ride and can do 8 hours with it. Applachian rock gardens are a breeze with the 31" General AT2 tires. Other issue is the bushings...Energy Suspension black with impregnated graphite. After a year started squeaking badly. So carry a can of lube and deal with it. Otherwise it's a Tacoma and keeps going except pass gas stations...lol
