    Hey guys I am gonna get a new suspension for my 2nd gen tacoma I can't decide on what to get I have a custom front bumper that weighs 130ib without winch. My tire size is 255/75r17 bfg mud terrains. These are the suspensions I'm looking at bilstein 6112/5160 , rcd 4.5 and toytec boss with res shocks in back.. if there's a lift that you think would be better please let me know your suggestions or opinions.. I am on a budget of $2000 - $2500

    just google old
    Man emu suspension for Tacoma. couldn't be happier with mine.check out headstrong off-road. I have a heavy plate bumper with a winch and those 886 coils are the shit. You can get the whole package with the upper control arms through Head strong for a good price. You will probably need the east coast gear needle bearing replacement bushing when you lift it. I did. It's a pretty easy job. There's videos that will walk you through it.

    On yeh flex is great. Hauling is great. The dakars will hold
    The weight. hauled a tractor yesterday, hauled 4thousand pounds of sand today and they held up fine. The ride on road is firm, feels a lot better than stock to me. Railroad crossings in Which I had to slow down with stock suspension I can go over at 45 mph and the suspension soaks it up now. I can go faster through the pasture now than I could with stock. I have 285/70/17

    Your truck looks really sweet which Dakar did you get the light duty or heavy. I am always hauling my Polaris Ranger.. i was wondering if I get the heavy leaf springs will the back be higher than the front of the truck when not hauling
