    Hey guys and gals,

    Been lurking on here awhile with the hope of one day owning a tacoma. Well the day finally arrived. Kind of a Christmas present from my wife who let me buy this 2011 4x4 access cab. Bought it used with 20k on the 2.7 5sp. Also what helped me seal the deal is that it already had the lift I was looking at, Toytec/Eibach springs and Bilstein 5100's, and Light racing uca's and some sliders.
    Looking to keep it pretty basic with an afe drop in filter, bhlm, black grill and a wheel/tire combo. Possibly figuring out a way to lift the front to level it out. I think I read that you don't want to go all the way up on the Bilsteins with the Eibachs, so maybe a spacer of some sort 1-2in. So any help in this department will be greatly appreciated.

    Here is a pic of the truck and now what I have to sell. My turbo RT4WD wagon.

    Sweet wagon and truck! Welcome from north of ya (Mukilteo, WA)!

    What are the shocks set at? .85?
    If not I would do that. I believe that's the highest setting recommend with the Eibach springs.

    Thanks guys.

    tinker_troy, I believe it is set at .85. There are 2 slots visible above the spring perch.

    Well dang, scratch that idea.
    Lift springs with spacers isn't recommended though. Unless you are talking about the little OME 1/2" spacer on the drivers side to fix the lean. Search around on here I sure you will find some ideas that will drain your bank account :D
