    hey everyone,
    Just purchased my first Tacoma. I've done some mods on it, nothing crazy but want to add a 2.5-3" lift on it. My buddy told me to get the bilstein 5100 adjustable for the front and add blocks to the rear. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'll also want to add bigger tires on it, this would be included in the 2.5-3" lift.

    Yes no Hockey Pucks in the back. At minimum a single AAL before blocks. And if you are going up to 3 inches up front use a 1.5 inch 3 leaf progressive AAL.

    Thx @Unchained 5150! In order to keep the front and rear leveled what should I be setting the front bilstein at? Sorry, I'm a newb to lifting trucks so I'm not really familiar with the terminology. I just like the looks of lifted trucks .

    Thanks! Definitely read into it, I heard there are some compatibility issues with the current bilstein 5100 and the 16 tacos but supposedly this summer they're coming out with new ones.
