    Good Evening TacomaWorld,
    I own a 2006 5 lug regular cab, bone stock suspension minus a Fat Bob's spacer lift on the front, and it is coming to the point where my suspension is squeaking when flexing and even on road bumps, and I could use a money dump on my truck. Long term i'm looking to put 31 inch tires and found a readylift lift kit that is 2.75 front and 1.75 rear that allows for 31 inch tires. Obviously a new suspension all around would be fantastic and am trying to find a budget which I have no maximum or minimum yet. Extreme long term i'm looking at long travel suspension and making it a prerunner so is beginning the swap to long travel suspension and TC UCA's and other related equipment feasible this early in development? I am on a college budget but have the USAF paying for 95% so i have a good amount to save and spend. Any input from everyone whether supporters or nay-sayers would be greatly appreciated!

    Have you looked into getting some rear AAL's from Fatbobs? If you have the front spacers front Fatbobs, which you do, along with the rear AAL's they sell, you can fit 31's as well. There is not much of a difference from ReadyLift and Fatbobs - other than Fatbob's offering a standard or longer AAL. Either way, it'll look good, man -- especially when you get the long travel kit ;)

    Btw, you changed the suspension of your truck, it is not stock, so creeking is pretty much "normal."
