    Hello all, I am new to posting on this forum but have been consulting it for information over the years and it has been nothing but helpful. I need help with a specific question now. I recently upgraded the struts in the front of my 05' 4.0L, manual, access cab, long bed Tacoma to some Bilstein 5100's. I installed them to the first lift position, ~0.85" of lift and need to install some new leafs in the rear. I already have the shocks for the rear (5100's), and would like the truck to ride balanced, but am having trouble finding any springs that are of slightly higher quality than standard OEM, or that are not part of a larger lift system. Any information you folks have would be appreciated!!

    How much lift do you want in the rear?

    For not much lift (they dont say how much), these should do what ya want. These should only be a hair higher than stock but with much better quality. I have never ran them, so maybe someone else who has could chime in.

    Thanks for the responses so far. I have already been emailing with Dan at Wheelersoffroad, and his HD leaf setup, minus one leaf, is still a 1.5" lift. I am fine with this, but is it going to make the truck ride too high in the rear?

    OMD's leafs are a 2.5-3" lift, which is way too much for what I need. Just looking for a cushy ride while I have a cap on the back and some weight in the bed...
