    Looking at lifting my 15 tacoma. was looking at the bilstein 5100's but reading some reviews looks like old man emus are the route I really should be heading.
    Found this kit online for at EMU lift for around $730 http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/Old-Man-Emu-Tacoma-suspension_p_225.html, which is what my local shop is selling the 5100 kit for.
    Any suggestions? or advice?

    Sorry wrong link. Yeah I know way to much reading for someone who isn't that terribly mechanically inclined. I would want to take it to a shop to have it installed. Defiantly don't want to be screwing around on my own. Tried to contact a couple of local shops and they all won't install a kit I bring in, instead they want to sell me the same kit for close to $1800.

    and then when I ask about a kit under $1000. they give me this kit and online I can get under $400 and they all want over $750 for it.

    Yes be careful on the rear shocks. Some people really had to beat them in. And some haven't on 2015's

    My brother did his 15 and I helped him install it. Wasn't too terrible.

    Why would he if he's gonna just sell it and get a 16? :anonymous::luvya:
