    So I installed the https://realtruck.com/p/eibach-pro-...dlwV-do5f6Y_Owv9ACtUVXDMG7bO3eXxoCklcQAvD_BwE and I put it on the max lift height it can go 3in. My truck now squats in the rear which I want to fix and raise up to match the front. I have two questions, first question is what are my options to bring the back end up? I've also read that when you lift the tacoma up over 2.5in you wanna start changing out other parts to accommodate that height better which is what my second question is as to what parts do I need to change out to accommodate the 3in lift in the front. I have a 2010 4x4 trd tacoma. I'm am not a serious offroad junkie but I do hit the trails from time to time for some weekend fun. I'll post a picture of the truck later today when I get home from work.

    You will need to get either an add a leaf for the rear but due to it being 10+ years old I would just replace the leafs altogether with new leaf packs that will give you an inch lift. Up front you will need new upper control arms to be able to get your alignment right.

    Awesome thank you so much. I also noticed that my tires are pretty close to the upper control arms like 3/4 to 1in space between. Should I install wheel spacers to give a bit more room?

    If your rear leafs are in decent shape and you want to stay budget friendly, I recommend looking into wheeler's progressive 3-leaf aal. Then reduce the front lift to level out the lift and improve the ride quality. What size tires/wheels are you running ?

    ICON RXT Leaf Pack at option 3. It'll raise the back up to match the 3in up front. Also pair it with a good pair of shocks that can accommodate the lift and travel gain. I paired the RXT leaf pack with ICON 2.0 series shocks with reservoirs. I highly recommend this setup.

    I was going to reduce the front to lvl back out but I put 33in tires on it and really like the height that the front sits at which is why I was asking about what I could do with the rear to bring up and match. I was going to trade it in for a brand new tacoma but I really love my truck and pretty sure I'm just going to finish paying it off and keep it until my daughter is old enough to drive and gift it to her.

    This is some solid advice. ICON upper control arms with their delta joint is a great investment. You'll love it.

    With the reservoirs do I need to added extra components to use that specific type?

    No. The shocks are bolt on with no modification required. The ICON RXT leaf pack is also bolt on and has 3 different height setting and it's easy to change between each setting.
