    Hello everyone, I have just purchased a 2009 tacoma from my company. It has about 100 k on it and I was thinking about putting a leveling kit on it. Would it be better to replace the existing with a new adjustable front coil over, or stick to the lift on top of the existing shock?? Not to be used as an offroad truck, just lifting it to level the truck up for looks. The truck is in excellent condition and I think I may spend some time and money to beef it up(a little bit,nothing crazy). What do you think? any comments would be appreciated.

    The spacer lift that sits on top of the coil to add lift/ leveling is not a bad idea if wanting to go for cheaper. It will have a little bit stiffer ride because of spacer. I wouldn't recommend spacer for hard off roading, cuz your it will let your shock completely bottom out before it hits the bump stop and can blow/ brake your shocks up from. Just for looks it would work but off roading I would spend the money for a good setup and a decent ride quality.
