    Hello, I bought a 2003 Toyota Tacoma TRD about a year ago. Needless to say, I love this truck! I work in the Mountains of Eastern Oregon and used to commute with a little Geo Metro. Any-who, now that I have had my Toyota for some time now, I would like to vamp it up a little bit. I have been doing some research and I think I would like to buy a 2.5" suspension lift, any recommendations on what I should buy? And Why?

    Don't really have a budget, but I would assume that it would be no more than $1000

    I would say 5100's all around and some aftermarket coils.

    I have not researched coils, as for those what would you recommend as well? And I always seem to see people say the 5100's, any particular reason for those rather than another set?
