    I want to do some light off roading and am balling on a budget.
    So it's going to take me awhile to fix her up
    She's a 06 trd sport
    Was thinking 3" bilsteins
    And some scs series 8 17" wheels.
    But what comes first?
    Thanks.

    Are you getting new (bigger) tires with the wheels? What size tires do you have now?

    I'm going to poop on that. :infantry:

    That's nothing more than a spacer/block kit with UCA's. :notsure:

    What are you doing with the truck? Just street driving?

    Do yourself a favor and just save up a little more and buy the whole kit, also you may want UCAs. I am not running them yet but I want them...

    The kit you posted is a good entry level kit from what i have heard, Also Old man Emu makes a kit, none of them come with UCAs unless you are going to spend 2k plus,

    You don't need to run UCAs but it does give you piece of mind with alignments and such. I have the OME kit and love it, Also there is a Toytec ultimate kit you may want to check out.

    One thing I have learned is research, ask, research again, then ask, then do more research. Don't just buy it because its in your budget, or its a good deal. trust me something will not be what you think it is. make sure what you get will surpass your needs. Because what you want may be what you need, but what you get may not even be what you need.
