    Put billies at 2.5" and rear billies with OMDBJP's on 04Tac0ma's ride and whoa they ride amazing compared to what was there before! Oh and also removed the sway bar as well. Huge improvement!

    thats odd..

    i know before my lift and after it pulled right..after the first alignment it pulled left..


    then after i rolled it and got it re aligned again its strait as hell now.

    think it all boils down to the shop really as my current alignment is a different shop then the current. :notsure:

    does anyone know the difference between getting the ToyTec coilover kit with Bilstein 5100 shocks vs just getting the 5100s and Eibach coils separately? its a $200 difference

    the toytec coil over kit comes with rear aal as well and the spacers for 3inch lift and 1/4 inch for taco lean. You also have option for diff drop in the kit. It comes to be a few bucks cheaper if u get the kit

    You can get just the bilstein 5100's and add the sleeve kit with threads and it comes with the eibach springs all for $300 so all in all youd have like 475 total but you would have an adjustable coilover via spanner wrench and the bilstiens are pretty cheap to replace down the road if you have them long enough. Would come out probably the same as having legit coilovers rebuilt after shipping and all. I debated doing it but decided to justbput that $300 towards a different type of setup... :spy:

    Basically the same as Toyotec ones..

    If ya want a real CO check out Fox and King. Icons i wouldn't super recommend unless you like going really fast as they use different valving that makes for a bit of a harsher ride on road.

    SAW are also another brand that are cheaper but a good CO.

    5100's on front, Rear diff breather relocation mod, 265/76/16 Duratracs, Emergency Lighting, Other Fun stuff
    Finally got some 5100s put on the front a few weeks back to level it out and new 265/75/16 Duratracs yesterday. It's riding better than ever now.

    Also I got tired of the dash rattle and went to local hardware store and got some rubber tubing and was able to get two rows of it between the front glass and dash. It has helped a ton.
