    I have the OME shocks- front and rear- so I can't speak for the Bilsteins, but obviously very popular. Great set up in my opinion. I have the Dakar leafs with the AAL with grazeable shackles. Make sure you get the OME shackles/bushings. I got all mine from Wheelers. You'll need the exhaust relocation, rear extended brake line, and the rear brake extension bracket as well. Wheelers can help you out with all of this. I can't remember what I paid for everything, but that sounds good. I have the 883 coils- I believe and don't have my front bumper/winch set-up yet and it rides like a dream- seriously no complaints.

    If you're still running stock, after all that is done, you'll be like "Why did I not do this before?!?" Much better ride IMO. Also, my dad- a 60 year old man- rides in it a lot when we go duck hunting and he goes "Man, this thing rides so much better than your other truck (2011 Tacoma 4x4)."

    That seems like a pretty good price to me, I have been looking around at a lot of different websites and that is as good as a deal as any ones I have found.

    I just went with Wheelers. After what I'm going through with brake calipers- can be found here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ok-so-here-we-go.486087/page-4#post-15215674 - I've found that customer service is really a crucial aspect of buying "performance off-road" parts. Dealing with Wheelers and Summit Racing have been great. You'll want people that really stand behind their products, and you'll want people that are willing to help you out.

    I bought everything for my truck from Wheelers, but I wasn't trying to REALLY save $$$. I know I could tell them exactly what I wanted, they would ship it, and I'd install it, and if there was an issue then they would take care of it.

    I don't know where you're getting that number from (supplier) but if they aren't one of the ones that are mentioned a lot on here- then I'd think about it.

    Just my $.02.

    Yeah I agree with you, I think that price I got was from Toytec. Good customer service does make a big difference!
