    Hey folks so I am a newbie with regards to lifts. Heres my story.

    Purchased 2004 3.4 TRD extra cab Tacoma which came with a cap. I installed brand new OEM Toyota Bilsteins (4600?). Sold cap and found stock springs to be frowning without any load, tons of axle wrap, and audible clinking.

    I want to buy a small trailer and haul small loads (tractors, mowers, etc.) and figured I need a spring upgrade.

    Considering General Spring HD rear leafs and shackles (says it lifts 2") but don't want a raked stance.

    Someone local is selling OME Nitrocharged 90004 struts with OME 2881 coils. Would these be a good option to lift the front even to the rear?

    Can I keep my rear Toyota Bilstein struts with the General Spring HD?

    So just to update this, I decided to pull the trigger on General Springs HD leafs and stick with the Bilstein 4600's. I may upgrade the front springs to OME 880 if the rake is too severe.
