    I went a little crazy buying stuff on Black Friday. Wanted to make sure I didn't make any poor choices. I bought:

    -Wheeler T1 coils (already have 5100's in the front)
    - Deeker UCA's from Amazon (crazy cheap)
    - Wheeler all pro leaf kit with expedition springs and fox 2.0 shocks
    - Exhaust relocation bracket
    - Silverado yellow bumps for the rear

    Is there anything else I'll need? Tacoma lean blocks? Sway links?

    My leafs are totally clapped out and frowny. I needed to at least do those and found this whole set up isn't too pricey and should be a huge update! But please tell me if any of these are terrible or a waste out something.

    These are going on a 2001 Tacoma extcab PreRunner V6. I bought it about 10 years ago for $500. It had a smashed core support, confessor, radiator, good and other front end accessory components and a salvage title. I just did a basic realignment of everything and replaced the plastic stuff with cheap aftermarket. Since then I put about 100,000 miles on it, now sitting at 225k. Other than the occasional fluid change. I've done virtually nothing to it except tires and 5100's up front to prevent rubbing. I don't really want to put any money into such an old clapped out truck, but at the same time it's a classic and still runs fine. It's just a +1 vehicle so doesn't cost much to keep around. Also I have a new rooftop tent, after upgrading the suspension I'll finally be able to mount it and go camping.
