    So i've been looking around for lift kits, or coilovers anyway, and i can't seem to find anything that will lift my truck 2.5-3 inches in the front. I'm going with an add-a-leaf in the back. It's a 99 tacoma, unfortunately i have a very LOW budget, but i really don't want to go with coil spacers. Anyone got any suggestions as far as lifting the front?

    Bilstein 5100 series shocks in the front can lift it 2.5".

    If i'm not mistaken they do work with the stock coilovers, right?

    what the midgets or the bilsteins? J/K the 5100's work w/ the stock coil and are adjustable in their lift height form 0-2.5". very good product. kill two birds w/ one stone (lift, and much better shock than stock)

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm curious though, will it affect my ride quality very much? and do the add a leafs and shocks wear easy?
