    Hello I want to give it a try and get this, does anyone think it’s a good deal? I also checked the website and it’s about the same price... but the springs aren’t emu so am not sure how this spring will handle on the Tacoma. Anyone has any input??

    Toytec is a pretty decent lift brand.

    Personally, I try to avoid buying car parts from ebay/Amazon, I honestly just don't trust a site that sells other people's stuff to get it right.

    I would go to a site like Wheelers Offroad, or one of the other many vendors on this site that specialize in truck parts and off-road accessories. (check out the vendor's section)

    For about that same price you could get a set of 5100s with OME coils and an add-a-leaf.

    Other things you'll need are diff drop kit and a rear brake line extension.

    Here are a few to start (from the vendors section of the forum: https://www.tacomaworld.com/categories/vendors.62/).

    Just fill in your vehicle info, and they'll guide you to what parts should fit.

    I've ordered a bunch of stuff from Wheelers, and DownsouthMotorsports, but I hear tons of good things about headstrong, too. https://www.headstrongoffroad.com/

    Ahah well at the moment am going to have to cancel this. Unfortunately I have to fix the wire harness and the assistant igniter since that’s what the dealer said it was going on with the code P1300. And it’s going to cost me around 1000 dollars$$.

    there are plenty of threads for the p1300 code on Tacomaworld. There are dudes who were able to figure out that it was just one wire that had worked it's way free and only needed a quick splice with some solder. Or a bad ground. I would read through them, take notes, and see if you can figure it out yourself on your truck. Don't get over your head either but hey it might be possible to save yourself $1000 that you can use towards something else right?

    Toytec coilovers. Height adjustable Bilstein's. 265/75/16 MT. TRD wheels. Rebuilt r150f. Marlin clutch kit. All kinds of new parts...
    I have that kit from Realtruck.com. Eibach coils, height adjustable Bilsteins. Purchased back on 09/05/15 for $654.00 and change. Didn't have the add-a-leaf is all. Nothing but good performance out of it if you ask me. Rides great if you don't crank the height up and keep the height adjustable Bilsteins at the lowest setting. Superb customer service from them as well.
