    i have just gotten a 2006 DC Sport....it has had the frame recall and rear leaf springs replaced under recall....
    I have just put a set of TRD rims withe Goodyear Kevlar takeoffs from a 2018 TRD =265/70-16s.....
    Also got the set of Bilsteins that were on the 2018 TrD from the same person...
    I have already installed the rear Bilsteins....
    So now.....I would like to get a little bit of lift on front and rear...only a couple of inches....I do NO off reading so the truck is driven nearly 100% on the road...it is just for looks...and I would like to keep the Toyota Bilsteins if I can....
    So what are my options....
    A block in the rear? That would not require me replacing shocks....
    Should I use the stock coil and install it over the 2018 Bilstein and put a spacer in?

    Is there a pro and con of using a block versus AAL in rear?
    I have heard the AAL stiffens the ride quite a bit...

    Spacers / blocks are cheaper. If for just looks save the $ and spend that on another mod

    Is there a certain spacer anyone would recommend to go on the front?
    Again, just trying to get a couple of inches of lift with the stock Bilsteins that I am putting on...
