    I know this is extremely subjective, and has probably been beat to death - but i'm just thinking bang for your buck vs functionality, and i'd like some opinions. Currently, My only suspension mods are billy 5100 rear shocks and hellwig helper springs. I rarely haul more than a couple hundred pounds in the bed, and I commute to work about 90 miles round trip daily. I do use my truck as a truck during the hunting season, and it takes me to some pretty cool off road places, but nothing that you couldn't comfortably do in a stock 4x4 tacoma.

    I'm looking at two options...

    Option 1: Eibach 1.6 coils and bilstein 5100s set at 0 and Wheeler's 1.5" add a leaf. Parts add up to roughly $575 and I'll install myself.

    Option 2: Bilstein 5100 struts set at 0 with stock coils and no AAL. $170 at wheelers - but i'll have to pay to put them on because I don't want to mess with a coil spring compressor, or the method do DIY without one.

    Goals: Get rid of the 245/75/16 Dunlop Crap tires and bump up to 265/75/16 Nitto Terra Grapplers and eliminate the stock body roll that the stock ride gives.

    Thanks for your input!
