    I have a stock SR Tacoma and i’m looking for some better suspension. I’m looking at the Eibach stage 1 leveling kit. Just wanted to see if anyone had any opinions or better suggestions.

    I picked up a used TRD Pro Fox suspension, it's a progressive external bypass valve system, tuned specifically for the 3rd gen Tacoma. Much superior to the digressive type and also rebuildable. Paid $550, including the bracket for the e-brake cable, couldn't be happier.

    Dam that sounds like a really good idea. 2 questions though. Are the adjustable and where did you pick them up?

    No they aren't adjustable, they would however be about 2" higher in the front than your stock SR, no difference in the back. I am waiting for Headstrong to have their Progressive 3 leaf AAL in stock and will replace my current overload with them. I found the shock system here on the TW classified site, but you will see them advertised on FB Marketplace and Craigslist often.

    This and what is your primary needs for said suspension? If you’re just looking to achieve a level with slight upgrade and budget friendly I would go bilstein 5100s. Good luck OP.

    I think the Bilestein 5100 setup front and rear with OEM springs are in your budget. You can add a spacer lift in the rear or even AAL.

    The next step up is Bilstein 6112. & 5160 again with AAL. The 6112 comes with new springs and are rebuildable. Budget goes to $1400
