    I have a 2009 Tacoma Access Cab. I'm looking at lifting or leveling it. I was eyeing the Bilstein set up but was curious to what other setups are there or y'all would recommend?

    It's mainly pavement and highway and some local trails in the KCMO area but I want to go on more advanced trails or longer trips at some point.
    I ordered a Leer XR camper shell and plan on putting a rack above as well. So maybe a new Leaf pack set up with the lift?

    Any suggestions is appreciated!

    Bilstein 5100s with OME 887 springs up front and ATS Springs 4+1 HD pack with Bilstein b110s in the rear. Good for about 3” up front and 3.5”-4” in the rear. I have about 2” of rake so no bro lean even with a bunch of weight in the back.

    Probably going to get bilstein 6112s when I get a hybrid front bumper though.

    Is there anything wrong with not mix-matching the setup?

    I bought OME BP51 kit (knowing nothing) and OME UCA. Of course the sales guy thinks it's a fine setup, but curious what Taco gang thinks.

    A lot of you mention different mfg for various parts, which has me wondering.

    Edit: mut dogs live longer with less issues than purebreds, etc.
