    Just started lurking on this forum. I'm looking for a solid complete lift kit for my 2008 taco long bed. Was looking at Old Man Emu BP51 Suspension Kit Lift Kit For 2005+ Tacoma but is slightly out of my price range currently. Is there anything similar that is cheaper?

    For starters, some of us aren't big fans of OME shocks.

    Now, Contact Marie @ Headstrong Offroad. She's got the deals! Best deal IMHO; Bilstein 5100's, OME coils, Devers AAL. Struts assembled, still under $800 shipped to your door. . I'm running that combo and most pleased with the results.

    Thanks man! I've been looking at different suspension lift kits but don't really know whats good and what isn't and what kind of results ill get from different sets. I'm looking for something that is reliable, requires moderate/minimal attention and give me at least two more inches of clearance. Any recommendation are well appreciated! Thanks!

    AAL- cheapest and most proper option for lifting rear

    YOu would be right under the limit of needing new UCA's, but you should be good....should
