    i agree with the few honest techs being left completely, butr then if the spacer lifts can cause that much damage, than what are my other options for a leveling kit for my taco?

    You can get the adjustable Bilstien 5100's, or a Pre Load type spacer. The Pre Load spacer llifts by being inserted into the shock/spring assembly, rather than being intstalled on the top.

    I've got a leveling kit on my '01 Taco, and I've beat the crap out of it, with no damage. I can't say you'd have the same results, but I'm not real worried about mine.

    We just put a set of the 5100's on a members truck the other day, and they were real nice, if you ask me.

    yea i think i'm leaning towards the bilstein 5100's front and rear kit, cuz downsouth motorsports really gives you a good price on them and with free shipping, i will prob be getting them closer to the end of summer tho, i've only been spending money on my taco recently and i need to back off for a little haha
