    "Looks like your in the Ft. Worth or Lake Worth area, let me know if you need any help with the install on what you get."

    Yep, looks like spacers in the front and shackles for sure at the back. Those stock rear leafs will need help someday an extra leaf now could forgo that.

    If you go with 5100s and AAL, you will also need to purchase a new top piece of the front spring/strut pack because yours is currently the lift one.

    For the rear, you will need new shackles that don't provide a lift. I would strongly suggest greasable shackles and spring pins. You can purchase them from Northwest Off Road here.

    The Top plate on the OP's shocks/spring assembly is still there. THe most he would have to buy is new spring isolators, if the OEM ones were removed.

    The link chris4x4 posted up is for the second gen Taco's, but you get the point.

    OP -- a lot of people here go with Billy's at all 4 corners with OME 881 (or 882) springs at the front and the Wheeler's 5 leaf replacement pack if you want to get a whole new suspension. You may consider that route.

    I'm not terribly brilliant with suspensions... but can the OP still benefit from an AAL? To me, his leafs look pretty shot :eek:
