    I have been researching suspension for my Tacoma but I have a few questions that I just can't seem to find the answers to.

    My truck is a daily driver and I hunt and fish in the Sierras. I'm not running the Rubicon but run some of the 4 wheel drive trails. I would like to keep the truck at the stock height and improve the suspension.

    I need to replace all the shocks + rear leaf springs they are flat with a slight bow where the axel sits. So far this is what I'm considering

    Bilstein 5100's on all wheels for sure.

    I'm trying to figure out if I add the springs can I keep it close to factory height without having to put spacers on the differential. If it does raise it 1-1.5 inches will it look ok with my current tires?

    Springs: Front OME 2880
    Rear: Wheelers 5 leaf spring set.

    If you have any other ideas I'm open to them.

    Thanks for the help.

    So an FYI for all who read the post.

    I ended up with 5100's all around,OME 2880 springs on the front and new Wheelers 4 leaf packs from Wheelers Off Road. Before I started I was 21"-21.5" from center of hub to the fender. After I was done I raised it an inch all the at around. Pretty straight forward job, took me all day but got it done. Thanks to the guys at Wheelers for the advice.
