    BS 3in Spacer lift in front and blocks in back that i need to get rid of.
    I recently bought an 08 Reg Cab 4x4 SR5. I have noticed the ride is very rough and yes the previous owner put in a trashy 3in spacer kit for the front end. Is there a huge difference is ride quality or height if i just got a set of Bilstein 5100's and some new coils? Any suggestions on Shocks or Coils?

    Thanks in advance

    5100s and coils would vastly improve the ride quality!!! Coils and shocks improve your ride and suspension travel.

    Nothing on the bumper. I just want that spacer off and a smoother ride with the same height

    I know for my plan, the billies are just more economical than say the OME shocks. But if the op has the extra than going with the matching shock probably would be good.
