    ok guys and gals,
    I'm sick as fuck and down for a min and really need some help making some pretty expensive and important decisions. so as the title says I have a 2017 Tacoma 4 door. I also have a decker bed storage and an uptop bed rack, with a 23zero tent on it. my leaf springs could use an upgrade, and I might as well do the front in whatever I do the back in the front. was looking at OME (old man emu), dobinsons, or icon. I'm not sure if I should just get one of their packages or make a custom order from two different kits, so my leaf springs will be stiffer, and possibly for the best bang for my buck.
    so what do you all think about this? should I check out another company?

    Bilstein 6112/5160 with a new leaf pack rated for the weight you have.


    Or get Kings and ball out.

    cant go wrong with old man emu. we have installed many OME 2 inch lift kits and its amazing. i think you get more than what you pay for. also you have to option of choosing how heavy duty you want the springs. if you're not running a bumper in the front you can choose medium duty in the front and heavy duty in the rear. also being that its only 2 inch lift, it does not fuck up any factory drive and ball joint angles. it still drives like a normal truck.
