    Bilstein 5100's with top lift (2.5) Stock coil springs Total Chaos UCA Predator Step Bars 6" BDS Lift Kit (Spacers) Blocks on the rear 20 x 12 Arkon Lincoln Proper Directional wheels with -44 offset 35 Tires Custom retrofit headlights (Morimoto projector with turbine shorud, double angel eyes, demon eyes and black housing)
    Right now, I have the following set up:

    Bilstein 5100's with top lift (2.5)
    Stock coil springs
    Total Chaos UCA
    6" BDS Lift Kit (Spacers) 6 Inch Lift Kit | Toyota Tacoma (05-15) 4WD – BDS Suspension (bds-suspension.com)
    20 x 12 Arkon Lincoln Proper Directional wheels with -44 offset ARKON OFF-ROAD Lincoln 20x12 -51 | K10120208345 | 2014 Toyota Tacoma (arkonoffroad.com)
    35 Tires

    The truck feels STIFF on the front suspension. Very RIGID. I'm starting to have problems with outer tie rods ends, sway bar links and other suspension components.
    I want to know your wise opinion so that I can put things right for once.
    What set up should I use in the 5100's with de OEM coil springs?
    Further on I will upgrade to Fox Coilovers or a more economic ones like Rough Country. (Link below)

    Fox Shock Kit: 05-23 Toyota Tacoma 4wd & 2wd Prerunner, Front Coilover, 2.5 Series, Remote Reservoir, 5.80″, 4-6″ Lift, DSC – AccuTune Off-Road (accutuneoffroad.com)

    Vertex 2.5 Adjustable Coilovers | Front | 6" | Toyota Tacoma 2WD/4WD (05-23) | Rough Country

    Please Help me with your knowledge.

    Hi @Tacoma 00731

    The Fox 2.5 coilovers you linked above would be a good coilover option to replace the existing shock and spacer with your BDS lift kit. We only work with Fox or King shocks you see on our website, so I would not be able to help with Bilstein shocks and springs.
