    Hello everyone,

    I recently bought a 2008 Tacoma double cab trd sport that has an unfortunately lame non-fun spacer lift on it. I have desperately been trying to find a used non-lame super-fun suspension lift in the marketplace, but the choices are pretty slim lately with most options being sold.

    I never go to the mall and would like something that I can have fun with where there are no roads. Do any of you know of someone that is upgrading from OME's or 5100's?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do have money btw, just trying to keep the cost down since I just bought a new truck. :)

    Here are some pics for your trouble. It looks great, but I want the FUNction as well. Is that so wrong? lol

    This pic looks like a mall parking lot. Not helping your situation. Do the 4x4 park immediately please.

    Yes I do.

    It's actually at work, but I'm picking up what you're putting down. It's intended to build sympathy. I can't go off-road like this. lol

    well, i just purchased the 5100 billies to go all the way around from toytec. I do have a budget, so i opted for this set up to begin with. im going to first set the front to 1.75" with stock coils for now. the great think about billies is that you can always add to them. when i save up some more $$, ill add the eibach springs and aal to them and go from there. If you go with Toytec, make sure you get the discount code from here, i saved $20 with it.

    all this being said, if i were you, buy new instead of pre owned shocks. That way you know they wont sag from previous use.

    shocks will settle a bit but I haven't heard of sagging. It's the leafs that sag. I may be forced to change up my rear if I ever found a RTI ramp to mess with, but I don't want to think about it right now.

    That's a pretty good point. I will most likely just wheel as much as I want and when I start feeling restricted in certain areas, I will get new suspension that will help in that area. Thanks for the advice.
