    First post. So seems most people seem to agree bilstein 5100 is the way to go. I have a 2014 tacoma and just want to man it up. I don't do much offloading but like the look of a lifted tacoma. Where do I find a bilstein 5100 coil over kit? If you have used on your taco please post some pics.

    5100's are a great entry level lift. If you're not into wheeling, they will most likely serve your purpose. Pics set @2.5"inbound.

    Welcome to TW.
    Check out the vendors section, loads of good deals in there.

    What about simply adding spacers?

    Spacers have poor ride quality.

    Toyteclifts.com has them, and great service too. Do your research here on driveline vibrations that happen after lifting. Just want you to know what you're getting into. You may want to do rear axle shims at the same time.

    Satoshi, debadged, rear view mirror bracket, tail gate hose clamps, trimmed mud flaps.
    Either one is a good option for a budget lift. My vote would go with the OME lift.

    5100s are a great way to go. All that comes in the kit is the replacement shocks and spring seats. There are a few different height options, but its the best way to level the truck out without breaking the bank


    I would call around before ordering, the 5100 has been on backorder for a couple months now. We sell them at 200 a set here with code TWCM, although we are out of stock for a few more weeks - http://shop.totalautomotiveperforma...lstein-5100-front/24239370pair/i-1998037.aspx

    Yes but do they HAVE them? Bilstein doesnt, they might tho as they have a huge warehouse. I got 202 a set from them, whats the code you are using? 168 would be a STEAL on those!!!
