    Ok. I am wanting to level my truck and keep the same ride comfort. I have had an 05 off road Tacoma before and love the way my '12 sport rides. I'm just wanting to fit 18s and level it so it looks nice and isn't too extreme. I am thinking a leveling kit with tires that will stick out even with the fenders would be perfect. I know front spacers will be needed and maybe rear. Any advice on which setup would be great.

    Thank you!! I have searched for 2 days trying to figure this out! I'm a complete noobie when it comes to suspension tire sizes and things on trucks. Car audio and other mechanicing I am very experienced in. I own a DSM! Anyone that has had one knows you have to work on those allll the time! Haha thanks for the info!

    Bilstein 5100's on all four corners. Front set @ 0 with OME 883x coils. Alcon leaf springs. Viper Alarm. Wet Okole seat covers. WeatherTech Floor liners front and back. Oem Toyota chrome exhaust tip. ARE Shell. America Outlaw Wheels.
    Look into the OEM coils matched up with the 5100's and depending on how much lift you go you can ether leave it stock or go an aal or new leaf packs out back. I did the 5100's set at 0 with OEM 883 and left the rear stock. It's level and it looks and rides great with no issues. Hope this helps .

    Are you talking about wheel spacers that move the wheel out? Or suspension spacers that move the suspension down(to lift)?

    Have you measured to see how much lift you actually need/want?

    I was meaning spacers to move the wheel out. I'm kinda leaning towards the idea of the 5100s up front and leave the back alone as Tacoma guy suggested. Would anyone have suggestions on tire size for 18s with this set up? Thanks for the replies

    Thanks bud ! I am really happy with the set up . I got mine from wheelers. I had them assemble them for me . They are awesome and will take good care of you . When you order your stuff get the 1/4in spacer for the drivers side lean. I didn't and wish I would have.
