2.5 lift

I was quoted a 2.5 leveling kit from the dealer. Put on and aligned out the door for $500 is that good?

 

What is that

 

So first - 2.5" isn't a level kit. Truck needs barely an inch to "level". 2.5" overall is a lift.

If they're selling you a kit with blocks for the rear, and spacers for the front, you'd be better off long run doing Billstein adjustible 5100's in the front, longer 5100's in the rear and an add a leaf. Kinda like this kit:

Hey guys brand new to the forum today!! Just bought back into the Tacoma world last week and I'm looking into this 5100 shock thing instead of a Leveling kit! Had a 2007 and did a level/lift kit by ruff country and never really like the ride after that!! I really want to run LT275/70r17 which are 32 inches and some change. I have seen one post saying if you set these to 1.75 you can run this tire fine?? Any ideas on this? Also I was looking at the #24-239370 front 5100's and the

$84 24-186728 5100 Series Shock Absorber

24-186728 rear, but I was thinking wouldn't it be smarter to get a 5125 series #

$112 33-230337 Monotube Shock Absorber, 46mm

33-230337 in case I have to go to the 2.25 in the front and I would need to be able to go up in the rear too right?? What would you use in the back if that happened?
