    Truck looks great and love the stance. I probably will go this route after I shop around and look for the best price. Maybe I can get a discount or coupon. Appreciate the info and pics.

    Thanks for your input. I have KO2's but didnt need E rated. Hoping this gives mine a better ride and handling.

    Had 5100s on my first gen, i know totally different truck so take it with a grain of salt. On a perfectly smooth road they were awesome, cornered great cause they were stiff, but small bumps felt like your teeth were rattling out of your head. And off roading at over .5 mph was not much fun.

    Are there any options to use your kit that give 1"-1.5" lift in the front for a 2007 4runner? Not really looking to go all the way to 2.75"

    Sorry for the

    Had 5100s on my 2ng gen set to 1.5” lift and hated them. Like mentioned again small stuff rattled the truck. Swapped them out to fox 2.0 coil overs and they were night and day better. Could drive washboard roads with comfort vs the 5100s making me think the truck would rattle apart.

    Something to keep in mind when reading reviews of suspensions is to see what trim level truck they came from. A TRD Off Road is digressive in nature and made to ride a little soft so to speak. The TRD Sport is quite stiff riding in comparison to an OR model, though I do not know the valving type used on the Sport models. Then the SR5 is different from those as well, though I do not know how the SR5 rides in comparison to the others. It is all in the damping, the springs front and rear are all the same between all models (excluding the TRD PRO).

    I battled between 5100's and 6112's, I ended up going 6112's (found a really good deal) and should have time this weekend to install them.

    I am curious what you decide and how it rides!

    Just an FYI RockAuto has some insane prices on the 6112 if you're interested. $558.xx before using the TW Discount code. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/toyota,2018,tacoma,3.5l+v6,3441741,suspension,lift+kit,7549

    Nice. I bet that's a beautiful area. Have been to the white mountains many times skiing to various resorts but have always wanted to visit during the warmer months. Maybe one day.

    Still haven't completely decided but leaning towards the Eiback lift. Can you tell me if this kit comes with the top strut mount, bolts and sway bar relocation mount if its purchased unassembled or does it only come that way if its purchased as an assembled unit? Looking to keep the factory rake so planning on bottom notch with 3 leaf aal in rear while keeping the factory overload. Do you think these shocks will work well for what I want? Also have there been any issues with the rear boot being on the bottom where it may collect dirt and debris?
    Thanks
    John

    I put on ADS. Ended up selling the ADS and now the Eibach is back on the truck. They ride far better than the ADS ever did.
