    Do a search here for more info, but I'm thinking that those won't work properly. You need 3rd gen stuff.

    2017 Tacoma OR 4x4 (formerly a 1998 SR5 PU, 2002 OR 4x4, 1995 4x4 4Runner, 1985 4x4 Toy PU) ... and RIP’s (rust in pieces) to a Bronco II 4x4 & S10 Blazer 4x4
    Still not sure on the best way to go for this, 5100s or? Is this a good deal?? I am interested in just a 1 to 1.5 inch lift only all around. Also, for this much of a lift, Are rear blocks a good way to get the rear lift for these shocks? And what's your thought about using front differential spacers (drop kit) when lifting the front, is it necessary for less than a 1.5-inch lift??

    On the 5100s designed for 05-15 is the bottom clip actually 0 inches of lift on a 16 trd sport dclb with stock coils ? Anybody run this setup.
