    What's up every one!!!

    I'm about to buy a lift from toytec but I'm having a problem of which shocks to go with. This is the kit I'm buying but Which one is the better buy with the package...procomp 9000 gas shocks or bilstein 5100 zinc plated shocks. The bilsteins are 70 bucks more

    I have no about stuff like this when it comes to lift kit ans suspension, tell me what y'all think to help me decide which one on which one I'd better and why?

    Thanks y'all, josh

    Just a heads up, just about everyone is gonna bash you on the spacer lift. If you can afford it, go with a coil/shock combo for your lift.

    afe pro dry, weather tech floor liners,5100's on all four corners@ 0, eibach 620 coils. toytec 3/4" spacer driver/s & passenger/s, rear spring tsb w/toytec 1" blocks, 4runner sport wheels, in channel vent visors, 1.25 spidertrax wheel spacers on the front, Wet Okole's, smity tow hook.
    To answere your question get the 5100's.

    You may consider buying front and rear 5100's, they can be ajusted to provide up to 2.5" of lift. lots of members on here are running them, myself included. They hadle great on and offroad and if you want more lift or better handling you can add a set of Eibach or OME coils and call it good.

    Talk to DSM they can hook you up with a good deal on 5100's + they offer free shipping.
