    Hi y'all, I am looking to level out and put slightly bigger tires under my bone stock 2014 Regular Cab. I am looking into the headstrong coil/bilstein 5100 combo. I'll then get some 16" 2nd gen OR wheels and put some K02's on it. I wont be doing any real offroading, this treatment will be mainly cosmetic. I'm concerned that this kit will make me nose high b/c it's designed for a double cab w/ a 6 cylinder... thoughts? Could I get away with just getting 5100s and setting them at 2" to get level? I know that there's lots of info. on the forums about these things but I am struggling to make sense of it all. I'm grateful for any advice. Thanks!

    Is this a 4wd or prerunner? Your profile doesn't clue us in. And it matters for the solution.

    But the best choice is likely to call Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road and talk through it with her.

    whoops- It's a 4x4
    I emailed Marie and she was very helpful, but sadly I'm still confused.

    talking is often better than email. And faster.

    Just call her Monday and talk through your concerns.
