    assuming you dont want to go LT and race thru the desert/ruin your bed, i'd go with a full OME set up if you have 1k+ to blow on a lift. for a good mid-level lift, 5100's set at 2.5" in the front and wheelers 1.5" 3 leaf AAL packs in the rear... < thats what i have and i think it rides awesome, i didnt need new UCA's and can clear 285's...

    ^X2, but that's cause I just ordered my complete OME kit yesterday from Toytec (biased). I researched all over the place and all signs pointed me to OME. BUT, it is the best lift for what I am currently looking for and what I plan on doing with my Taco.

    fox coilovers. King makes great stuff, but on other truck boards people are having problems with the customer service, or lack there of. When your spending that much money on shocks, you should get what you pay for and not the run around and attitude. They are sending out the wrong or damaged product and want the guys to pay for shipping to return it to them. Thats ridiculous.

    This is SPAM!!! This guy doesn't even own a Tacoma! Plus the customer service at King is great. I bet you can't even tell me the best place to buy King, Fox, or Icon's?
