    just got a 5 lug taco. I know that the 6 lug prerunners have bigger shocks. Could I put the prerunner shocks on the front of my 5 lug to level the front end?

    If you would like to upgrade, many on this forum have installed Bilstein 5100's that seemed to work very well. If you decide to add lift kits and such, the 5100's will be ready to handle it.

    Look into fat bob's garage suspension lifts for the 5 lug tacomas. They are rather nice

    oh that's right, forgot about that. Hopefully other 5-lugnowners can chime in. I have a 5-lug as well and once my shocks start leaking, I am replacing them with Bilstein 4600's.
