    Just bought my Tacoma, not wasting anytime I want to lift it but need it to still ride like it should. I have heard a lot about billy 5100's what all should I actually buy? Or is there anything else I should buy instead?

    Depends on your plans with the truck. Light off roading? Billies with Eibach calls and an add-a-leaf in rear.

    How much of a lift do you want and how much are you willing to pay? Lots of options, just depends on how much lift you want.

    x2 just got mine on 2 weeks ago, had one little issue but fixed that last night thanks to the help of a little Q&A in a thread on here. wasn't even hard to fix just had to put it in 4wd hi and drive around the block then back into 2wd and problem solved.

    Welcome to TW.
    Surprised nobody's said it yet, so I will...

    Use the search function. You'll find that most often the question you have has already been asked, and probably more than once.

    Here's the suspesnsion threads. Should find all the info on Lifts you could ever need...

    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/suspension/


    And fwiw. I'm running Fox front and rear, with OME Dakar leafs. UCA's by Desert Racing Products.
