    Hey guys, don't mean to ask this question. But the more I read all these threads the more confused i get, I'm looking to level my 2011 4x4 access cab Tacoma, without buying new wheels and tires. Should I just buy the bilstein 5100's? Is that all I would need? I don't tow anything, and don't put anything to heavy in the bed, so will the 5100's in front be fine for me? Thanks in advance, I'm new to this but I'm looking to get into customizing my Tacoma

    I have an Icon stage 1 3" lift with OEM tires and wheels. No issues at all. Now, if you want to go with bigger tires you might need wheel spacers or new rims with less backspacing; aftermarket upper control arms; and/or trimming. You can definitely put that lift on and use OEM tires and wheels though.

    If you go with the 5100s, you can level the front with the back with no other parts. I set my 5100s at 1.75" and that did it for me. The shocks improve the ride over the stockers.

    2 inch lift. LED fog lights (Cali fab) Alpine head unit. Kicker door speakers. Skar subwoofer.
    What wheels do you plan on running? What size tires?
    The 5100s would feel alot smoother then the stock suspension! :)

    Rick did you run your stock coils too? I plan on running my cooper at3's with it, 265/75 so there should be no problems with that
