    Hows it going you wonderful people. Just bought a '04 tacoma base srs 4WD (2.7 liter 5 speed), and i was thinking about a full suspension upgrade. I can only afford one pair at a time. so should I start at one particular end first? Also any recommended brand name for comfort and steady ride? Thanks.

    Call Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road. Be prepared to tell her your goals and budget.

    If her recommendations are out of your budget, save more and wait. Do it once, do it right.

    They are knowledgeable, fairly priced, good service, free shipping. What's not to like?

    If you can wait until then, most places that sell suspension kits give a pretty good Black Friday discount ;)

    Whichever way you go, here's a couple videos you might find helpful. These videos unfortunately won't help you with the rear leaf springs but they will help you with the front struts. We did shoot a lift video for a 1st Gen Tacoma but we lost the footage when my friend dropped his external hard drive onto the ground.
