Suspension lift Idea's... Comments please

I wanted to add a TM 6" lift kit, but, get around 5" of suspension lift total. I want to stay low as possible with the most amount of travel. Unfortuently, the BL will have to stay a little while because of my welded on rock sliders...BAH.

Front idea:
1) Use 2wd 4runner front coils with the TM lift.
2) Use my OME front shocks.
3) TM inversion mod (Gains ~ 1" droop)

Rear idea:
1) 2" cornfed spacers on my OME coils
2) Extended travel shocks
4) 5" drop panhard bar
5) Spidertrax control arms.

Im hoping that with the combination of the 2wd front coils, OME shocks and TM inversion mod, I will gain ~2" of droop from STOCK setup. My current setup leaves me with about 1" of total travel.. .lol.

Any ideas? Comments? Things I totally missed?

Leave the BL on and buy a 4" Pro Comp kit. I know where there's one for sale...then add a 1" cornbred spacer in the rear.

Well, ĹĹĹĹ, I just bought a trailmaster kit today for $400... even came with a front diff ... lol.

Jim, The procomp woulda been perfect. Im like alittle weary of this 2nd strut crap on the TM kit... :/

I just bought some new gabriel struts though for it. Only cost me $40 with shipping.!

Anyone know how the ride would be with 2wd coils and OME shocks up front?

Another option I might do for the front is to leave my current setup, but use the diff drop brackets and hydraulic struts...I'll keep my current lift, but, keep my CV's perfectly straight, and have no upper a-arm problems.
