    Hello,

    To start, I've got a 1st gen Tacoma, 3.4 4wd. I'm looking to replace the lift kit that is currently installed on my truck. For reference I bought the truck 3 years ago, and it has had a block lift and some not so great coils on the front. Doesn't exactly ride the best, but does its job to clear 285's.

    I've seen several options, 5100's with OME coils and OME Dakar leaf springs... OME all the way around with Dakar leafs... 6112's with 5100 rears etc.

    I mainly daily drive my truck, but plan on keeping the 285's, and taking the truck camping and to some offroad parks this season. The most weight I ever have on the rear is a fiberglass camper shell, and I have a plate rear bumper. No weight over the front (yet). I plan on adding a steel bumper eventually with a winch.

    Only main concern is my leaf springs look pretty flat so whatever I do, I will probably need to replace those, don't really care if it is OEM style springs or OME style springs.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated, just trying to get it done right the first time.
