    I definitely want low maintenance. I’m thinking of going with 6112,5100 setup with new leafpacks with all of this new information. Thanks everyone for the help

    Shocks themselves (both front and rear) do not provide lift. They provide a lot of your "ride quality" by virtue of compression and rebound characteristics. Lift is achieved by changing springs, adding blocks or an AAL, etc.
    While not "necessary", if you have the budget for it a new set of leaf packs will provide you a better ride in most cases.

    If you want to check out pricing for all of that stuff here's some links for you. Please feel free to ask more questions as you have them though. The rear 5100s will run you around $200 for reference
    Front 6112s - https://hotshotoffroad.com/collecti...s/bilstein-6112-coil-strut-combo-05-23-tacoma
    Leaf packs - these ones are Icon RXT and currently on sale. Probably the most popular mainstream option out there right now, but there are also others - https://hotshotoffroad.com/products/icon-2005-toyota-tacoma-multi-rate-rxt-leaf-pack-w-add-in-leaf

    ‘If you have the Benjamins get a new aftermarket leaf pack. New it did run $600 - $1200 ish + installation. A block did run $50-$75 ish. I’m not up on the current prices. You can save money on previously owned.

    For what they are? They are Fox coils/shocks that have been R&Ded to perform off-road and ride amazing on road. Ive seen them go for around $900 for coils and rear shocks. They are by far better than most Bilstein, OME, Toytec kits people install. OP said small lift and comfort. That's what these will achieve.

    I really don't know. You could probably find them on some OEM websites. Joe Joe on Facebook might be able to get you a good price. Let me see if I can find some part numbers.

    Yeah that's pricey. I would really look into a low mileage kit someone replaced. At OEM prices you might as well go aftermarket kit. I run fox 2.0s up front. They give 2" lift and ride really good. Around $1000 for the front.

    I did all pro expedition leafs because they were a good price, super flexy, 4" lift and handle 500lb weight while still holding 3" lift. But they lose their paint and rust quickly. They also have 2.0s that handle 1000lbs now. Then I have extended travel fox 2.0 with resi, wheelers ubolt flip kit, superbump stops and extended brake lines.

    The icon RXT leaf pack is adjustable because you can remove and add leafs. They seem to not rust and people love them. Also a good price.
