    It’s a 2015 taco with a leveling kit on it. I’d like shocks that I could do some mild off roading with, something better then stock but not to crazy on price.

    The stock bilsteins are good and affordable. What’s wrong with the your rears?

    The shocks won't do any lifting. The leaf pack will. Could do an add a leaf if you want to keep it simple and affordable

    Should be able to find something from a TW vendor here: Look at the 5125's, although some trimming of the bushing is necessary.

    Bilstein is worth your money. If you lift your rig using the 5100's on stock springs, remember that ride will be a bit stiff.
