    Missoula, Montana
    Vehicle:
    2007 Tacoma DCLB 4x4
    Suspension: OME 885 coils, Bilstein 5100's, SPC UCA's, HS 3-leaf pack. Wheels/Tires: Method NV 16x8, Falken Wildpeak 265/75/16.
    Thought I'd show off what I've done to my Tacoma in the last few weeks since purchasing it. Tacoma World has been a HUGE help in guiding all my decisions, so maybe this will help others out.

    I wasn't planning on doing any mods right away... until I realized how lame a DCLB looks without a lift and bigger tires. That led to purchasing...

    265/75/16 Falken Wildpeak tires
    Method NV 16x8 wheels

    OME 885 coils
    Bilstein 5100's
    Headstrong 3-leaf progressive Add-A-Leafs
    SPC upper control arms

    After:

    Side note: I was able to install all the suspension by myself in one LONG day. I'm somewhat mechanically inclined, but mostly relied on this forum. Thanks for all the info.
