Yeah, that truck needs to go up just a little. What guard is that on the front? Looks perfect for my extra lights.

BTW, Nice lookin truck, and welcome to the forum.

Sorry, I haven't lifted my truck "yet", so can't help you there. I know that a LOT of members here are very happy with this place for lifts...

x2 on toytec. Recommended highly by many members on here.
Do you want a kit or new suspension though?
A kit being blocks, shackles, AAL, etc. Suspension being full OME or billy5100s and new, beefed springs, as an example.

Kits are cheaper...

^^ Yeah, Try to stay away from blocks and spacers, you will regret getting them! I did. They ride rough and harsh, thats why they are the cheapest way of lifting.

I would reccomend the OME 3" lift with AAL in the rear from Toytec. Great Price and ride.

Go with the bilstein adjustable 5100 shocks (set at 2.5") in the front and rear. Get shackles for the rear 1.5". That is the route I went. Easy to install. Ride is better too. They have them at downsouth motorsports.

So if you go with the 5100's you get the lift with a good ride without having to purchase anything else???

No spacers? uses stock springs???

^I had thought about that route myself, but my strut/shocks are shot anyhow... Thats why I am thinking more along the line of the 5100's if they will give the lift without even using a spacer.

X2 on the ruff country. If you want something cheap, go for this, I have it and loved the price, but the ride is a little on the stiff side with the spacers in the front.

Yes all you will need are the shocks for the front. They are designed to be used with the factory coil. You can get 2.5 " out of the front. You will need an aal, shackles, or blocks for the rear to get the 1.5"
