    I have a 2010 quad cab v6 quad cab long bed 4x4. I am installing slightly lager rims on my stock tacoma 17x9 & slightly larger tires of 265/70R17s; doing some research on leveling kit does anyone know if I will need one? New member & really enjoy this forum

    Ah okay. I think mine are 16x7, just making sure that wouldn't be an issue on its own.

    Welcome. :cheers:

    I'm running 17x8 aftermarket rims so couldn't say what the one inch would do.

    So I'm going up to 1.5" on the rims & up to a 70 vs a 65 on the tires

    Can anyone recommend a leveling kit & where to buy. Want to make sure the new 265/70R17 tires (had 265/65R17 originals) & new rims of 17x8 (17x7.5 originals) will fit & clear everything ok?

    In my option bilstein 5100's are the best value. They usually run less than $200 for the front shipped. They have 4 height settings: 0", 0.85", 1.75", and 2.5". With your tire and wheel set up I would set the front at 1.75" of lift.

    This ^^ 5100's are the way to go if you want to take the rake out of the front. Good shocks and shouldn't effect the ride quality. I "personally" would buy 4 shocks since they are cheap. You don't "need" to buy 4 but I'm OCD enough that I like all my stuff to match :eek:

    I agree I have the set up you want to run on stock suspension and I had to do some minor mods as listed above to make it fit so if you don't want to do that the 5100s for sure that is the next thing I am looking to add to my taco! And keep the stock suspension if you do replace because I'm sure there are people around that would buy it:)
