    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    If you're trying not to spend too much I'd look for someone selling used 1st gen Old Man Emu suspension. With the right springs and their shocks they are pretty darn perfect feel wise for a truck used as a daily.

    If you can build damn near anything, you should build a 2nd gen to go with the coilovers. :spy:

    J/k +1 for Old Man Emu or 5100's if you don't want to spend a lot.

    Fox 2.5’s up front, icon 2.0 rear shocks, stock leafs, !Meso map and dome lights make all the difference in the world!
    5100's and OME are the only way to go if you don't buy king coilovers

    Just got bilstein 5100s for my 04 with factory coils/springs it rides great and is a good suspension lift that won't compromise ride quality.

    I'd throw out the spacers and do an aal to the back if you want good ride quality
