    hey so im looking to lift my taco 1.5'' and my tires and wheels are 245/70/R16
    and was wondering if it would be best to buy a complete kit or put together my own? (no blocks or spacers) if so what would be the best complete kit for the best price?
    im thinking putting the 5100s all around and a AAL in the rear. any counter arguments to that? and whats the best size tire for my desired lift? and can i use stock coils with the 5100s?
    thanks any and all help is appreciated

    IMO.. 5100s with stock coils, and Wheeler's/Icon 1.5" Progressive AAL. If you leave your overload in you'd be around 2" of rear lift, if you remove it you'll be around 1.5" in the rear.

    This is my setup, on 265/75/16s. 1.5" front, 2" rear with the above parts.

    I'm happy with it. Headstrong and Wheeler's is where I bought from, 5100s from Headstrong and the AAL from Wheelers and would recommend both.
