    Im trying to decide which is best. I am stuck between a procomp 3" leveling kit and belstein 1500s I want to know which provides a better ride and which is just a better choice in general. I have no knowledge what so ever with lifts and shocks.

    From my personal experiences i have found the the OME or the 5100's will be your best options when it comes to ride and overall quality.

    I have also heard some horror stories about Procomp's customer service when something goes wrong.

    I started looking at Pro com at first. Read a lot of reviews on here and other sites. Then moved to 5100s. Ultimately decided on the full OME kit with dakars in the rear and Light Racing UCAs. Love it. Glad I spent a little more and did it right the first time.

    I'm am looking to put a leveling kit on my 2011 Tacoma but I cant figure out what my best option is. I don't want to do anything with the rear because the rear sits high enough for me as is. For the front I'm trying to figure out if a spacer would be my best option or if the Bilstein 5100s would work better. I mainly use my truck on road but I take it off road from time to time. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Will I need to use a spring compressor to get the Belstein 5100s on?

    On the second gen tacomas, the 5100 Billstein adjustables have 4 different position settings on them. Does anyone know which setting would make the truck the most level? Maybe the second or third position?
