    2012 Tacoma double cab prerunner with rough country 3" lift currently. Want to achieve around 4-5" in the front and 4 in the back with a new lift. Question is what lift to get. Looking at adjustable 5100 lift and then maxtrac 4" spindles. Any input or suggestion?

    I'd say you're on the right track for the front, as you already know Maxtracs will give you 4" & with the 5100's you'll have the option to go higher in the future if you want. That's the setup I have, I like it & haven't had any problems. As for the rear if you don't want blocks, I'd go with All Pro Expos they'll give you 4" but will be a little stiffer or you could do their standard leaf packs for 3" & use a 1" block. New leaf packs are more costly but in the long run a better option.

    How is your overall ride quality? I'm wanting something close to stock ride or a little better. This lift I have now sucks.

    I think it's pretty good but it is a little stiffer than stock, it doesn't bother me.
