    I'll make this short and sweet; keep in mind I have searched many forums & this is my first time researching/putting on a lift.
    I'm looking for 2-3" of lift on my 1999 Tacoma TRD SR5 4x4


    The Set Up I'm Thinking Of:
    Front & Rear:
    New Blistein 5100's set to 0" stock height
    http://downsouthmotorsports.com/i-1...t-adjustable-1995-5-2004-pair-front-rear.html

    Fronts:
    - The Above Mentioned, Blistein 5100's
    - Toytec/Eibach Coil Lift Springs
    http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/ToytecEibach-front-coil-lift-springs_p_14.html



    Rear:
    - The Above Mentioned, Blistein 5100's
    - All-Pro (heavy) Duty Leaf Springs OR
    - Old Man EMU Dakar Leaf Springs

    My Questions:
    1.) Will I need more than just the Blistein 5100's and Eibach Coils up front? Some have mentioned a front differential down spacer..?
    2.) Recommendations between the All-Pro vs. Old Man EMU Dakar Leaf Springs?
    (I do not off-road, just use logging roads and regular unmaintained hunting roads in the fall)
    3.) Is there anything else I am missing?
    4.) Are new UCA critical to make sure I don't damage anything with this lift I'm thinking about doing?

    Sorry for the "newbie" questions but I do THANK YOU to whoever stops to look and especially those who give me some input!
    I'm just tired of this ole' stock set-up :)

    1.The bilsteins set at 0 with the eibachs will bring you 3" of lift. You do not need the diff drop spacer.
    2. Can't go wrong with either leaf spring, both are great!
    3. No
    4..No you do not need UCA's, but they help with alignment.
