    2" lift
    I have a rear shock leaking on my 2010 TRD Access Cab. Have alittle over 100k, looking at the Bilstien 5100's. It had a 2-2 1/2" lift when purchased in 2015. Spacer front blocks rear, not a big fan but, I'm happy with the ride and handling. This is my DD, don't off road, rarely haul much weight, just put on a new set of Michelins.
    So, I should get some longer shocks for the rear, I belive they are OE. Front not sure if I should go with OR and retain the spacers or get the Bilstien shock with the lift deal. I love my Tacoma and plan on keeping it as long as possible!
    Thanks

    Wait times are exessive right now even on 5100s. You could find some new take offs on here or slighly used in the 2nd gen forum. If you want to keep your lift especially in the back the easiest thing would be a 3leaf add a leaf and longer shocks, but the shocks won't lift the rear themselves. That's if you plan to get rid of the blocks.

    Don't have a big problem with the blocks in the rear, longer shock should be sufficient. I guess the important question is, 0-2.5 lift shocks or OR style and keep the spacer. Assume the latter is less $$$.
