    Hey tacoma land aficionados.

    I am scheduled for a frame replacement at the end of next month. My shocks are gone and I want to replace them. I want to level my truck out so I am planning on ordering some 5100 with ome 880 coils for the front set on the middle setting to attempt to get it close to level. However I am getting new leafs with the frame replacement so i might do an AAL 1-1.5 inch lift in the next few months so which rear shocks can i purchase that will function with the AAL option in the rear, 5100 or 5125? I have zero experience in this issue. As always thanks guys

    5100 should do it.

    Some of this Some of that
    Some people say the ome coils on 5100s ride strangely. I stick with either a 5100/ eibach toytec spring( I have and love it), or ome springs and shocks. And if you plan on lifting the back after you get the new leafs from Toyota then you prob wanna do ome 882 or 883 coils up front so your rake isn't crazy. My opinion is 5100's front and back, with eibach coils from toytec and an aal..
