    I have a 2010 Tacoma TRD sport double cab 4x4 and I want to get a leveling kit. I don't want a lift kit at all just leveling kit, and I want to know what size would give the best results?

    1. do you care about your ride quality?
    2. do you drive offroad on trails, etc?
    If you answered No to the questions above, the spacer lift may be right for you.

    Never had them on but everything I have read about the spacers says they are terrible ride quality and if you offroad with them it increases the chance of breaking the front shocks. 5100's are the way to go, correct me if im wrong.

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    Bilstein 5100's set at 1.75" and call it good.

    I'll agree to the 5100's set to 1.75". I have them on my truck, and it changed the ride quality. Was a little rough with the stock Bilsteins, but the 5100's made the ride quality nice and smooth. Set the lift ring on the middle setting, and have the springs installed at a quality shop, those compressors that you rent at part stores are scary for the strength of the springs that are on our trucks. 5100's all the way.
