    Toytec 2.5" lift., just the beginning. Front Builstein coil-overs fully adjustable from 0-3". 2" AAL in the rear with 2.5 degree shim. Total Chaos uni-ball UCA's.
    Yup, i think you'd be fine.. However instead of a spacer, why don't you just go with some coil-overs up front, icon has a really nice set, although i'm using the toytech ones with bilsteins. It would eliminate the need for the spacer and give you more adjustability. With the type of lift that i wanted up front however i have maxed out the ball joints, and have just received my total chaos uniball UCA's. I'm hoping to have time this weekend to install. Either way, sounds like you have some good ideas, and i look forward to seeing pics of your build.

    Varies from truck to truck, from what i have sorta gathered tho..if you have new leaf packs you don't need it, if just an AAL then its good to run.

    Alright guys, I've been researching like crazy and maybe I just cant find the information.. Help me out.. I'm starting to save for my lift now and will prolly get it whenever I get out for the summer..

    I have a 99 Tacoma with the 3.4L and 4x4. I plan on putting Eibach coils and 5100's up front, and in the rear I would like to replace my leaf pack. Which leaf pack would give me a full 3" (or a lil more)? Also would I be better off running 5125's or 5150's in the rear? I will eventually get a tube bumper up front and a tube in the rear, possibly sliders.. Also I plan to run 32x11.5's for better flexing.. Thanks

    The allpro exo pack will do you just fine for the rear setup and just take your pick for shocks, 5125's are just 5100's but come in different lenghts and 5150's look awesome as hell with the little piggy back resi for better cooling...ill be going with the same setup in the rear with 5150s mounted like /\

    Yes, youd want expos for that much weight..your probably looking at about 200lbs all together so it should sit real nice!
