    Hello everyone I have a 2wd 5 lug and was looking into suspension. Does anyone know what suspension would fit a 5 lug? I was thinking bilsteins in the back but I don't know what I would do in the front. If anyone can give me advice on what you did that would be great! Also, if worst comes to worst I will just get a fat bob spacer lift. What do you think of that? Thanks!

    You could go with a ready lift level kit for the fronts. It comes with rear springs. Front is 2.75 rears are 1.75. Or chaos uca arms. Check out my avatar Hayn808.

    I need help I bought a leveling kit for my 08 5 lug Tacoma it has the leaf spring for the back in the spacer for the front strut I do not have the Jacks are some of the tools to complete the job myself I took it to an auto shop and they said when they put the strut spacer on it will not allow the control arm to flex I've read dozens of successful installs and watch several videos and have not seen this issue

    I dont know your circumstance is but it should be flexed all the way out. Unless the positioning of the strut spacer was not installed correctly or not the right year level kit. You might wanna consider a body lift kit.

    I don't know exactly what suspesion works, but from what I have looked at on the forums if it's lifted the blisten 5100 in the rear and the 4600 in the front. I am not exactly sure what parts they are, I am also looking to make sure they are correct. Don't know if I want to just save my money for a LT instead, but the damn stocks make me cry everytime I hit a bump. Don't know how much the 5100 and 4600 will improve drive quality anyone have them and expierence better results or should I save for LT and ride the stocks to death, bump, bump , bump ,and bump sqeek.

    i was talking to a guy last night who told me to save for mid-travel. He said go with the Fox shocks and add a leaf pack
