Lift question, excuse my ignorance

What are the different types of lifts? I see so many on here with "5100's set at this or that" What kind of lift is this? I have been out of the lift game for so long, back in the day it was mostly leaf springs front and rear. I know nothing about the front ends on these trucks and how to lift them. Seems to me the 5100's is the most common. I haven't been able to find a thread on here explaining the lifts, only what each truck has on it. Is there a thread I'm missing?

 

Not sure if this will answer your question, but I found this thread last week: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/suspension/11282-tacoma-lift-faq-guide-read.html

Go Dawgs!

 

Great link to get you started ^^^

OP , this is posted in Garage / Workshop , you'll have better luck in 2nd Gen or Suspension / Lifts

Read that link above .

Good luck

 

far as i know the 5100s are nothing more than an upgraded shock absorber the lift game it still the same, theres the ever popular leafs, add a leaf and blocks, coil spacers, hockey pucks, coil overs 3link and 4 link set ups, long travel, body lifts, and well there is a new axel out that has nothing to do with suspension and will give you 4-6 in of lift forget what its called but is mainly for the jeeps i believe. you havent missed out on much same stuff better quality
