    Ok guys I've decided that the only lift that is truely right for me and will serve its purpose is the bilstein 5100s/rear tsb. My truck isn't so much as an offroad playtoy (it will be a few years down the road) as it is a tool to get me back in the woods for huntin n such. Just wanted to put up a list of what I think I need, if I'm missing something chime in!

    Billy 5100's in the front at 2.5"
    Rear leaf spring tsb ( along with the aal, they put billy 5100 in the rear correct?) I need this done as the truck sags with the fourwheeler or camper pretty bad.
    265/75/16 nitto tg.

    This is goin to be my first lift so I'm excited about it. If the dealership does the rear tsb all I will really have to buy as far as suspension goes is the front bilsteins,right? I might also go ahead and get a diff. drop kit. Open to opinions!

    they will not put 5100's on the rear for the tsb, just bilstein trd shocks

    X2. You will get the yellow and blue trd shocks. 5100's are silver in color with blue and white lettering.

    Ok I misunderstood what exactly came with the rear tsb then. So I'm going to go ahead and order all 4 5100s. Should I still get the rear tsb done before i put the billys on to get the AAL or is there a better one out there than what toyota puts on?

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    get the tsb done, then put on the 5100's and sell the yellow blue billy's and make up some of that money
