    So long story short: I did a Bilstein 5100 leveling kit lift on my new Tacoma in April. Decided to mod it for overlanding and the Bilstein stuff just wasn't suitable for the extra weight. So, I redid the rear with OME 2 inch heavy springs and OME shocks. Now, because of the steel front bumper and Warn Zeon winch I want to redo the front and go 3", the problem is, I see vendors offering an OME 3 inch Tacoma lift kits but when I called ARB they say they don't make one. I even got a quote from a vendor offering the 3 inch lift and when I called ARB with the part numbers they said those parts are for the 2 inch kit.
    Do any of you have experience with this? Thanks.

    That's a horrible idea. What time?
    I'm running a 3" lift with Bilstein and heavy duty coils and springs. I made one mistake when buying, and that was not getting the extended length shocks for the rear. I bought mine through Headstrong Offroad. I also bought the replacement extended travel rear shocks from them. 5100's all around. Heavy coils and heavy OME leaf springs.
