    Get them from Downsouth Motorsports. They're one of our vendors here. It was something like $320 shipped for both front and rears.

    Unless they are worn and sagging you can use the stock springs. My truck had 105k when I put the 5100's on mine and I used the stock springs. My truck leveled out real good. And as posted earlier, get them at Downsouth.

    Deal with it and save until you can do it right? I wanted to lift this year and it's just not going to happen. My front end really sags and it sucks, but it gets me to work/home, and handles moderate trails just fine. Patience is waning though...

    Yeah I know the feeling. Last october I hit a concrete median on the interstate bc of some dumb ass switching lanes and not seeing me (fixed that problem got me a set of Train Horns.. HAAA). Anyways I took it to a shitty body shop that used to be reputable. They kept my truck for 12 weeks!! The damage was done all on the driver side and they didnt replace any suspension parts only the rim. It may not have been severely damaged but now 8 months later I have had to replace both lower ball joints and now in desperate need of shocks and struts. I think its too late to claim on insurance plus I dont want Toyota OEM Parts. I want to upgrade it.
