    ok gang, i have some questions about the suspension currently on my truck. its a 2001 XtraCab 4x4 TRD SR5. from what i can see there is ibach springs and some sort of Billstein shocks in front, then the (stock?) Billstein shocks in the back (no pictures but theyre the yellow/blue shocks), with (aftermarket?) shackles. if anyone maybe could tell me what i have going on down there i would appreciate it, especially since the closest shop who would be able to tell me what i am running is about an hour away (thank you Bay Area traffic!). pics below. Anyways again thank you very much for helping a newbie taco owner out!

    I thought it was that billstein setup but wasn't 100% sure. there's a sticker on the bottom of the shock in the one on the website but not on mine. wow not a bad little set up. some new uca's and some rear shocks and we're looking at a nice little lift.

    I'd say get a pare of fox shocks and upper control arms that's a decent lift and you can use it big time I'm runnin 5100's and use the fuck outa them they work great but man fox and King are the way to go
