    I just turned 16 a month ago and got a 2021 Tacoma SR double cab 4x4 (you can daddy's money me all you want I hear it every day) and im looking to get it more off-road capable. I considered the new TRD lift kit from the dealer because it its made for the tacoma by toyota and has the Bilstein shocks but i decided against it after I realized how much it would cost after labor and tax plus paying for a $500 grille i can get a replica of for $100 seemed dumb and I dont need the fog light covers because you know... I dont have fog lights. I dont want to lift the truck an potentially void warranty or just decrease the reliability of a truck that can last a lifetime. Anyways ive come to the conclusion that the Bilstein 5100 shock and strut set is the way to go. It should give the truck a nice lift or at least a level that i'll like and supposedly theyll preform better than TRD off road shocks (not sure how they hold up against the TRD Pro Fox shocks) so for the price of that grille i could have a truck that preforms better than it would with the TRD lift. If anyone has any other shock sets that are better around the same price point please let me know.
