    2018 Tacoma TRD Sport BLACK 5100 / 887 OME 33" KO2
    2.5" FRONT/1.5" REAR LIFT KIT W/BILSTEIN 5100 SHOCKS
    I bought this kit for my 2018 TRD Sport 2WD but I don't know if I can just go with max lift or need to buy spring? :confused:
    They told me to install the shocks at 2" plus 0.5" trim spacer front and 1.5" blocks rear and that whit lift and level it...
    Are we good or need anything else?

    Has anyone tinted their headlights? I was thinking of a light smoke gray tint, but not sure of it. I was hoping to find some pics of some 3rd gens that are tinted. I tried the search option but no luck. Maybe Im not using it right.

    Greg, I have the Mobtown doors, you'll like 'em. I actually put a Tuffy bed box in the drivers side that I'll be removing. Much more space but the hinge almost rest against the bed so any water that gets in there makes the hinge rust. Purchased a tailgate seal to keep under carriage washes from getting in there but like the fact that Mobtowns are removable like the stock doors.

    I just started lifting a corner with my finger nail (not sure how I did that since I bite my nails) and slowly peeled them off. Neither came off it one piece and there was a significant amount of adhesive left on the paint. A clean shop rag and some Goof Off took care of that. Then I applied Meguire's Cleaner Wax too remove any remaining goo and protect the paint until I'm ready to apply the new decals. You can also use a credit card to start lifting the decal without fear scratching the finish.

    Now I'm confused..... I called 4 wheels parts and asked for coils set for my 5100's and the guy told me I don't need it with the Bilstein 5100, this set will do the leveling / lift work!:frusty:
    I think if I go with the OME 887 the ride it will be smoother....
