    Excellent choice with that access cab Tacoma. :thumbsup:

    All you need are the bilstein 5100 and perhaps a 1 inch block on the rear leaf springs and go up on tire size and call it a day. Perfect daily driver setup I would say.

    Take a picture of your front suspension. By the looks of your pictures, it looks like, there is some lift on it already. I would lose the bull bar. They do more damage than good, plus fugly.
