    Hello all, new memeber, I tried searching but I don't think it was working. I have an 03 Xtra cab TRD 4x4 I purchased with a new frame installed from the recall. The stock bilsteins are worn out and I think the front coils are stating to sag. I'm looking to change out struts and springs, but not sure what's the best idea, was looking at bilstein 5100s with stock replacement coils from rock auto, but thought with what that cost is there any lift options available for close to the $500 mark. Looking to do shocks and struts all around and front springs, and a rear add a leaf if I do a lift. Can anyone make suggestions? The truck is daily driven 100 miles a day, will never see offroading conditions other then driving in snow.
    Thank you guys for all help

    Are there lift kits close to the $500 mark? Yes.

    Are they any good? Probably. But more likely not.

    How much is Rock Auto asking for OEM replacement coils?

    The springs are $60 from rock. I don't need a lift, just wasn't sure if there is anything available around the price of 500. I see there's a pro comp lift for second gen for about 500 but didn't see a the same for a first gen, also wasn't sure if it would be any good.
    I thought about if I really need coils, since the 5100s are height adjustable.
    Thanks for the quick reply
